LP640 is being shipped to Moscow in about 2 weeks. We are adding a few things to it.

Have a buyer interested in the V already as well. UGH, not sure if I am moving that or not. Its such a badass car!!

I ask, because my girl drives a black '04 (maybe 06)CTS, with a mesh grill, and she really likes it. I looked into getting some same year model CTS-V wheels, but quickly noticed they were 6 lug.. yours are 5.. I wonder if they are the same bolt pattern..

New generation CTS-V has 5-lug wheels. It has just about nothing in common with its slower predecessor.
