Anyone have picks of the closest neighbor to the cts-v rim. I remember reading a post about a d3 designed rim that was similar with a 5 bolt pattern.. I like those rims alot but not interested in coverting to 6 bolt pattern

Vogue CV-7's are the closest I've seen.

The Alessio Giro looked similar, but they've been out of production for about 3 years. The CV7s aren't cheap, but they're the closest to a V wheel in a five lug you'll find.

Alessio Giros are the closest to the V-rim. I have the 18x8's and I love them. But the previous post is right-Alessio pulled out of the US about 2-3 years ago and the only way to get them is through some European websites. Good luck.

The general consensus is that if you stick with a 245 series tire (on an 8" wide wheel), you need between 40mm and 44-ish mm of offset. Stock V is 42mm. Stock CTS offset of 51 won't work with anything over 225 series rubber. 40mm is about the farthest out you can go without rollering your fender seams or rubbing.
