Wow! I just KNEW they'd look great on black ... your pics prove it out, Biggie. Very nice.

IMHO, mine look great even on my Stealth Gray (much to my surprise).

Okay, gotta see these on Platinum. Who's got these on a Platinum V?

Stock arms here.

Close for sure, but no problems.

Posted this pic up in the caddy forum. Guys there were kind and thought it looked decent. If you're still not feelin' 'em, I can understand as the stock wheels are indeed nice, too.

I think they look sexy but I'm more of a solid fat spoke fan. I do like that they are different though so they stand out and they come staggered! That's def a benefit over stock. I just like the factory look with the bigger more basic (5 or 6) spokes. If I had my way, I'd order the CCW SP500's in a 6-lug for my V. But for now, my black powdered stockers are doing just fine.

But those look great non the less! I'd just have a hard time getting used to them on my car but I love them on y'alls! Lol

not to bad...I do like the overall design of the wheels.

I do, how ever thing they look better on rand49er's. Stealth Gray with Black wheels is an amazing combo. But that because I HATE black wheels on a black car...I toyed around with the idea of doing, but the more I look at Black V with black wheels the more I did not like it. Just my opinion, and no offense to those with them.

And Biggie...Give her a damn bath, haha.

You guys with LS6's realize it's just a higher performance version of a truck engine too, right (LS1 in the SSR)...It must be rough having size envy he he, just messing...sorry, had to do it...I wish GM put the LS7 in the last V like the rumors of the Super V...If I kept my car long enough, that would be the way I'd like to go.

Anyway, I don't like the all black look myself, but those wheels are nice and if I were forced to do the all black look, then those do fit nice, because they are so 'open' and the brakes help contrast.

What do those run, if you don't me asking?

All black is getting played out. My next car will probably be something other than black. But i'll still do black wheels.

I agree on being played out. I still love the look but since I did my car, I've seen so many more black on black vehicles pop up in the area. One other V and then some different cars. My next ride will be white on black.

That's shipped to your door, btw. Well packaged, I might add.


All black isn't for me, though black Vs look fabulous. Still want to see these wheels on a Platinum V with clear sidemarkers and fogs.

Red on white would be pretty sick if done right but it seems to be an import thing around here. Red on black would look nice though but for some reason I've really been liking white vehicles lately.
