I would suspect so as the spokes are quite a bit thinner. I also think they are forged as opposed to cast.

Seems odd that, from looking the auction tracking list, quite a few bidders got cold feet and retracted their bids all within seconds of one another. Why is it that GM gets renowned Speedline of Italy to do their Z06 wheels, but for the CTS-V, we get Taiwan for our optionals?

They got Speedline to do the factory stock wheels for our V's.

I was close to bidding on those wheels; especially at the price they went for. If I weren't considering trading my V right now, I would've bid. I think they're a great looking wheel. Post some pics when you get them mounted up.

I would be a little suspicious of that whole auction. I got 10 e-mails during the remaining minutes telling me my bid was retracted (I didn't retract it), cancelled, re-accepted, that I was the High Bidder and finally cancelled again. I had a max bid of $1100 so take that for what you will if you won for less.

Just my .02.

Those optional wheels are not Taiwan-made, they're Speedline just like the regular factory wheels.

The auction picture shows that they are made in Taiwan. Maybe that's why there were so many bid retractions. Can anybody verify if the optional wheels are Speedline or Taiwan?

Did seem odd to me too, but the seller had great feedback on some big ticket items. We will see when they show up...

Does anyone have pics of these wheels on an actual V? I was gonna order some but 18's still seem too small.

Didn't you "win" these optional alloy wheels on fleabay? Looks like the same seller has them or another set posted as #230109117375. Did you receive yours or did the deal fall through?

Hey!!

I'm not sure these are the ones you are talking about but James @ Lindsay sells these wheels new for about 1200.00 plus s/h. He quoted me a price of 1340.00 shipped to my door.
