It does look sick. And it was the hardest one for me to chop for some reason. That photo had me reconsidering black instead of titanium.

Black on black does indeed look wicked. Dudesweet, could you try titanium and gloss black on infrared? I'll buy you a beer/make it worth your while. I'm working on my car right now, and I'll take pictures at the same angles as the ones you used for those wheels if need be. The key differentiating factor here (with respect to wheel color) might be my grille.

No problem guys.

FL: I'll do it. And yeah...the hardest part is finding a V with the right angles as the wheels. Or else I have to Jack with the skew & perspective of the wheel. The car pic thread is my friend.

Damn... The red with black wheels and black grilles looks good!

Anyone know if the stock black caddy center caps will fit these wheels?

NeverSatisfied: I don't think the stock center caps are going to fit. Fuzzy can verify.

You're correct. Cadillac's center caps are too large.

The picture you chose makes the wheel look deceptively flat (see alternate photo below).
That said, the front of the CTS-V doesn't have nearly enough room to fit the deep concave F14.
You'd have to email Peter and see if he'll do a 9" set (still not deep concave though) all around.
Otherwise you'll be out of luck, since they're making 9/10" blanks.

The F14's are gorgeous wheels and they look great on so many cars! I'm thinking very seriously about ditching the wheels currently on my car so I'll be able to get a set of these instead.

+1. I have a $3200 set of True Forged wheels on my car. Once I see the concave depth on a V I might pick up a set. Until then I will keep my current set of wheels. If they do look similar to the e92 m3 posted or the c63, I will definitely be buying a set. I love that titanium color.

Yeah... After thinking about it, I'm going to wait to see the wheels on a V. Not a big enough difference in price to jump at the intro price. Was set on CCW's or True Forged wheels anyway so I'll save the difference up if I'm not 100% set on these wheels on the car.
