Pics - new 20" wheels on Crystal Red

Remove this ad
I finally got around to installing my wheels on the CTS. Had them a few months, but just been too busy to mess with them. I'm a dealer for several forged wheel brands, and decided to give Sevas Forged a try this time around.

Sevas Forged "R77", 3-piece construction
Brushed/cleared centers, chrome lips
20x8.5 fronts with 245/35-20 Nitto 555 tires
20x10 rears with 285/30-20 Nitto 555 tires

Fitment on the car is great. Only issue was not being able to easily mount the TPMS sensors on the wheel. I've dealt with this issue on several brands, so now I just use epoxy glue and put them inside the wheels before the tires get mounted. More on that how-to later, I took pics of the process. Car is currently 100% stock other than the wheels, but I just received Eibach lowering springs to install.

Pics!

Re: Pics - new 20" wheels on Crystal Red

On most cars 20" is just way too big but the CTS makes them fit like gloves. Plus these Sevas are just sweet rims.

How is the ride with the staggered 20s?

AWESOME , car & wheels.

That looks like the same Crystal Red Metalic I have on my '08 Vette.
No wonder I like your car so much.

Re: Pics - new 20" wheels on Crystal Red

That looks great! Especially considering it's still stock ride height with 20's!

Do you know how much more weight was added? And how is the ride/handling vs. the stock 18's?

I love when people know how to choose a wheel that fits the style and character of a car. Those look fantastic. :golf clap:

Re: Pics - new 20" wheels on Crystal Red

Looks good...u plan to lower it? I think a 1.5-2" drop would be killer with your staggered setup.
