Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

thanks Silva..i hope so lol... ordering new wheels is always so overwhelming lol never no what they are going to look like... wheel visualizers and photoshop only go so far lol
 


Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

I would do 30mm offset, are you lowered?

if you are, you will have to roll the rears flat, fronts a half roll.
 
Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

yes i am lowered.. buuut i literaly just ordered them lol...the +35mm ones lol..guess if they are to close i will put a ~3-5mm spacer..

or should i call them and change the order to the +30mm? lol

Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

well Fu#@.. i placed and order again with another company and they called to tell me that they were out of the Rota's... they only had the +20mm offset in stock(thats def not going to work)... looked around at other places and they dont have the ones i need....now i am back to f-ing square one aaaagain!!!

Update:

well just got off the phone with a company out in CA that deals directly with Rota and they said that they only have the 18x8.5 +25mm in stock and only in gold(yuck)...they guy was like thats only 5mm more then what you ordered lol i said ya thats not a big difference ahaha.. right... anyway told them to look at the 18x8's and didnt have them in stock either, what the hell is up with these companies that dont update their damn inventory online!!!... so he told me that they should be getting a shipment in within the next week or two and would call me with an update!

Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

Also i just got of the phone with some one who has some Tenzo Tracers 18x7.5" +42... you think those would work if i used a ~5-8mm spacer... i am almost over this whole damn CTS-V set-up!! lol

Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

ok so what is the verdict? should i get the Tenzo 18x7.5" +42mm and run a spacer.. or get the Tenzo DC-6 18x8" +35mm?.. i am just about out of options at this point so it is down to those two wheels
 
Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

i like those but the 18x8's only come in the +40mm and +25mm offsets.. plus they are like $40 more a wheel then the Tenzos :p
 


Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

i dont know if those will work with the CTS-V calipers.. spokes might not clear
 
Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

Ok so finally found some rims that are going to work.. now should i get chrome lugs or black lugs?

Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

Konig Backbone 18x8 +35... what do you think i should get for lugs.. all black or chrome.. im leaning for the black lugs
 
Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

there are nothing wrong with chrome lugs on black rims, they will accent the silver calipers as well.
 


Re: new Rims for CTS-V upgrade

id get the lugs to match whatever color theme youre going with, since your calipers are silver.
