Nice looking wheels. They'd look just fine without the ghey CF coating.

I would have thought that would be Step 1, before coming into this CTS-V forum to advertise your wheels. Otherwise it seems almost spam-ish.

These wheels are available w/o the CF as well for a lower price.

I actually forgot the v models had a 6 lug bolt pattern, I was thinking about the base cts, sorry about that.

He's a paying vendor on the site, so there's nothing spammish about his post. The 6 lug pattern on our cars is extremely rare for a sdean, so cut the guy a little slack for not knowing- his main market here is probably the CTS and Escalade guys anyway.

Joseph / WheelExecutives - Glad to see you guys onboard here. Even though you may not have something that works with the V's 6 lug wheels I'm sure you have something other Cadi drivers here will be interested in. Plus hopefully (fingers crossed) the new V coming out next year will be back to a 5 lug wheel.

Wow, some of you guys are harsh on here. Since you guys are on a 6 lug, it's more than likely 360 Forged new line for suv's with 6 lug patterns will work. These should be out soon.

As far as having something that works for the V, we do have d-forged wheels which come in 6 lug if anyone is interested, and are currently researching into some other brands that we can offer to everyone.

Thanks. And we wonder why we can get more vendors on here and why the ones that we do have don't last.

Thanks for the added info.

Please don't sweat some of us, we can be a bit harsh at times, but no offense is meant. It's just the nature of the beast in the V forum.

I thought they were real carbon fiber wheels. Even with two sets of stockers, a spare, and a set of 20s, I would have been all over that. Ten pound wheels would be ghud-entadt. Too many shoes? Eh, you can never have too many shoes. But if it's just carbon fiber overlay, myeh. I could pass. They do look nice, but, somehow, they look nicer when assuming they're carbon fiber. Yeah, you should do that, just tell everyone they're carbon fiber. Dude, get with the program. You should brush up on your marketing skillz.

I'd be willing to bet that the fine folks at Wheel Executives could put together a nice group buy on some of the popular V wheels that have been proven to fit. I don't recall seeing any other wheel distributors coming on the forums, much less helping pay for the site you're currently enjoying, do you?

Why don't all you naggers cut him a little slack and give him more than 24 hours to find you some wheels, then perhaps his membership here can benefit you.
