Exclamation V is going bye bye 20's are for sale

These are basically new. I purchased them about 1 month ago and have about 1000 miles on them. There is no curb rash or scratching. There are tire pressure sensors already mounted in each wheel. I am looking for 1800.. Here's a pic:

somehow those wheels make what was a gorgeous car look like a 300c. bling bling needs to be left completely out of a performance cars styling.

a CTS-V isnt a real "performance car" IMO More of a luxury cruiser with nice power

Everyone has their own opinion and that is alright. I never had one compliment on the V until I put those wheels on. Now I have people coming up to me all the time telling me "nice car man." These wheels are styled just like stockers but are 20in instead of 18.

That V is awesome. Are you really selling the car? Also, correct me if I'm wrong but I was under the impression that the CTS cars had an excellent chassis and are quite capable of performing?

So is the whole car for sale also or do you already have a buyer for it? If you don't have a buyer then what are the details. I have been toying with the idea of buying a V.

Thanks,
Tim

Beauty is in the eye of the beholder. "Bling" can be done right or it can be done wrong. Just like performance mods.

Tim, quit messing around and get yourself a V. They truely are great cars. (added bonus of another S. GA V brother to meet up with)

On the wheels:
Made by?
Dimensions?
Tires, w or w/o?
If with, what are they and size?

Boilermaker,
I tried and tried to buy one for my wife. We took several test drives but she just didn't want to have to drive a standard everyday. Well now I no longer have the burden of a wife so I have been toying with getting one myself. I just don't know if I want to bite that much off since I just bought an 07 Sierra Denali. If I found one for the right price though it might just sway me. I love these cars! By the way when I have the chance I always go down to Moultrie to the big swap meets. I am working in Iraq right now so I don't get much chance to anymore but if I get a V we will have to meet up when I get home.

Sorry guys I was out for the count after 4hrs of some of the worst dental work you can imagine. They were using the "jackhammer" on me trying to get these caps off. OUCH!

Anyways, the wheels are marketed by Vogue. I do not know who actually makes them as Vogue does not make their own wheels. They have a 12mo warranty on the finish and the offsets are PERFECT for this car. With 245/35/20 tires they are the same height/width as the stock set up. No rubbing whatsover! The tires/wheels still look brand new.

One out of three ain't bad, I guess......
Answer the questions and I might make an offer.

Tim, we usually use the swap meet as a reason for our Impala SS club to do a cook out. We line up the cars at the boiler plant I work @ near the front entrance. Look us up when you get back and all the brews are on me. (God Bless and thank you for what you're doing over there)

Lets see.. It goes good, Handles really well...Stops on a dime...Yup performance car.

You have an opinion but so doesn't everyone else. Just because it has 4 doors doesn't make it any less of a performance car.

I kind of like the 20's but would love them if it was in Black Chrome or anthracite.

Most modern performance cars come OEM with 19in or more of wheel. I'd bet we see a 19in or 20in OEM wheel when the V is redesigned. In 2004 when these cars came out, 20in wheels were only found on SUV's and on MTV/BET in the music videos. Fast forward to 2007 and they are a standard.
