Pics - new 20" wheels on Crystal Red

[Nine Ball]

Yes, I am going to lower the car. Eibach springs showed up last week, but I won't have time to do the swap for a few more weeks. BTW, I hear Sevas is now out of business. Looks like these wheels are now somewhat exclusive, lol.

Ride/handling isn't changed much at all. Haven't pushed it in the corners yet, but I guarantee the Nitto 555 tires will outperform the narrow Michelins that came on the car. Had these same tires on my previous 625 hp twin-turbo '06 GTO.

Nine Ball...the car looks really sharp. Great choice on those wheels.
Pics are excellent too. They are WOW shots. If you don't mind, what kind of camera did you use? Nice job.

I'm not surprised at all. I had a very poor experience with them and if it was any indication of how they normally run business, they were destined to fail. They had some great looking wheels though...yours included.

Very nice!!! Please post pics of the eibachs when you get a chance. I just bought a radiant silver '09 DI and I was interested in a similar setup.

I had a HORRIFIC experience with SEVAS as well with my 08 CTS 3.6. They were impossible to deal with and I heard other horror stories on fitment. So happy to hear that your wheels fit properly because I think it is rare for SEVAS.

Here is what I ended up going with, also with the Eibach drop and body kit.

Hey thanks for the comments....I need to take some new pics ;-)

I have the Vogue CV7 20X9.5 (I think 9.5). They only come in chrome which was not for me, so I powercoated them silver. I am hoping to get the H&R springs once they FINALLY get released....for now the Eibachs work fine and the ride is great.

Mac, thanks. I write/shoot for various automotive magazines, so I take a little pride in shooting pics. Those were taken with a Canon 30D using a Canon 28-135 IS lens, as well as a Canon 10-22 wide angle. Polarizing filter, tripod, wired release trigger. My driveway was the background

Synergy, your car is one of my favorites on the site. Less bling, all business. I wanted the gray or black CTS, wife picked this color. Still wish I had a black or gray one instead! My '09 Z06 is gray

Pride in your work is always good. I figured there had to be some expertise behind the lens of an SLR camera. Really nice angles and sharp resolution. Once again great shots. Black Dahlia has also posted some very nice shots. I suspect an SLR there too.

I've been considering a camera upgrade for a while now. Thanks for the info.

By the way, you're hired!

Now that is CLEAN. Very nice look
