Default 20" CTS V wheels and tires new $1800

I am in the process of getting a a few sets of 20" chrome factory replica wheels. They are the exact same style as the factory 18's, just 20" and chrome. If anyone has any interest in them, let me know. I am guessing they will run around $1800 for wheels and tires, mounted and balanced on a road force balancer. PM me if you are interested. Thanks

Yeah I was shocked when my distributer told me what he wanted for them. There arent many wheels out for the V and all are usually around the 2200 and up range.

It's great that a company is stepping up and making our rims. Any chance that this company would make a 19" rim with a rear width of 10-10.5" that would have the offset to handle a 295 or 305. Also, other than chrome, do they offer other finishes such as black chrome. Let us know, thanks.

I would be interested too if they had the 19" rim with the rear width of 10-10.5". I would prefer mine in chome.

Thanks

id be interested.....but not in a 20" as that size is for regular cts's and other baller thugs who choose to ruin the performance of the car.......also I would be interested in the regular finish the wheels come in (not this ridiculous chrome fad - chrome looks like *** people - polished is where its at)....and a 10-10.5 inch rear, as most have said.

Default Pictures!!!

http://pg.photos.yahoo.com/ph/tsteff...ff25/my_photos

The final cost was $1975 with wheels, tires, mounted and balanced on a road force balancer with the weights hidden behind spokes, lugs, and locks. The tires are 245/45/20 Falkens. I just got them on my car today and I am suprised how good they hook up. If we can get 7-10 people that want sets we can get them for around 1850 a set.

Here's a comparison shot. I had to go outside to look and see what the difference was. 20s look pretty good. Can you weigh it and tell us what the weight is per wheel/tire? Also, what is the rim width? I wish I didn't just spend $900 for new tires.




Mine's not as clean, but it'll work.

"245/45/20" Wouldn't that make the tire/wheel much larger than stock? A quick check shows 245 35 20 being equal to stock.

You're right...judging by the pics though, it looks like that may be the case (245/35-20) and his original post may have been a typo. I like 'em!! Wonder what I can get for my chrome 18's with 500 mile old Nitto's!?

Ya, the more I look at those pics I don't see how that could be a 45.. I wonder how those things would look in black?

You are right, 45 is a typo. 245/35/20 I set them next to the original wheels and they were almost the identical size. I checked it on one of those radars that sit next to the road and the speedo was right on. Will have weights today. Thanks

Default FINAL COST and AVAILABILITY

I am still waiting on exact weight but when puting them on yesterday they felt as light or lighter that the stock wheels. They are only available in 20X8.5 and 18X7.5. I had a chance to drive mine today and with the 245 tires I have listed and it hooks up better than my 18" Michelin Pilot Sports I had on. My car is bone stock but there is little to no wheel spin when rolling 5 mph and I hammer on it.

I also forgot to mention tire pressure sensors, so this is the final break out for costs

Wheels, Tires, Lugs, Locks, mounted and balanced $1975

If you want to send me your wheel speed sensors, these wheels will accept them, and I can install them. I added a new set of them, and they run $160 for a set of 4. I figured it wasn't worth having to switch them over (I am in MN so I will be switching wheels for winter).

Everything without sensors $1975
Everything with sensors $2135

You will have to have the sensors re-learned. If you are in MN and can get to the dealership I will do this for free. Otherwise most car repair facilities have the tool to do it.

Shipping should be less than $200 for anywhere in the cont. US. The closer you are the cheaper it will be. Also having it shipped to a business will be less. I love the look of these things and the pictures really dont do these things justice. They also have a 2 year finish waranty. PM me for orders and I should be able to get them to your door in less than 7 business days. Thanks guys.

Are we able to buy the rims themselves without the tires? If so what will be the cost of the rims shipped? I have been looking for a set of 20's that are similar weight to the stock rims.

245/35/20 is the perfect size. That is almost dead even to stock. Should even work for the lowered cars unless the offsets are much lower.

Default Without Tires

Subtract $600 for no tires and shipping would be much cheaper. The offset is perfect, sets flush with the outside of the car. It is a 40mm offset if that info helps.
