I'm going to throw some "Ds" on it.!
 
5 Attachment(s)
I don't know what the hell that means, but nonetheless, I bought an 09 CTS-V today.!

Car is being shipped from New Orleans, I'm hoping to have it by tomorrow.

09 Black / Black Auto
Recaro Seats
Multi-View Roof
40K miles
Polished Wheels

I don't have much planned for it yet other than throwing some Ds on it.

Any recommendations.??

Pics to follow soon.
:cheers:

UPDATE:
I ended taking a flight to New Orleans yesterday 06/26 and driving it back.
Here she is....don't know what I am naming her yet, but I'm leaning towards Serena or Oprah.

D's = Dayton wheels if I'm not mistaken.

Gen2 V's are nice. I almost went with CCW but I like the stockers, they're relatively light and strong, and cheaper to replace if the get messed up. So I powder coated my stock wheels. They look gray, but they're black with a heavy pearl.

Dubs would actually be 22's as in double 2s. Just FYI.

Your close but the guy above you is right by "dub=20" DUB or Double Dimes=20. has been a slang term for years before 22 wheels were even out..Dub=$20 or 20" wheels...anything 20.

Back to the topic...CTS-V= sick, good purchase! Ive always had a soft spot for these, might own one after my Camaro days are over.

YOU SIR ARE CORRECT!!!

"D's"
are reffering to Dayton Rims(one of the oldest in the nation) wire spoke rims.
They look good on just about anything...

By The Way...LOVE how you powdercoated the wheels...looks GREAT!! and your correct you save money they are lightweight reliable and look good...some people just like messing up nice rides...my 10 ss has the stock rims and ill never change that...my daughter is gonna drive that thing to Hs one day and ill be damned if shes got some chrome wheels that faded and shitty tires..

"D" actually refers to the roman numeral "D" or 80 and 80 / 4 wheels = 20. So "D" = 20's if you don't divide by the spare. A little known fact is the spare is called a "d" as in small dONUT. I just saw it on the discovery channel.

In the hood, you could throw some "RD"s on it which of course is the accepted slang term for "rubb dubbs" AKA whistle tips. Woo Woooooo indeed!
