Black Cts with Black rims
any body have a picture of the '08 cts in black with either black rims orrrr the original alloy rims powder coated black?
im 16 and really want to do something to make the car look more sporty without doing much because the car is leased, any one have any ideas?

I'm a LOT older than you guys, but, personally, I don't care for black rims, think they make the car look cheap. The polished rims bring out the chrome trim on the 08 CTS, which compliments the color black.
You don't want this car to look like a Honda, do you?

Re: Black Cts with Black rims
I have a black CTS, also. I was originally planning on black rims with chrome lips. The offset on the '08s makes a very small lip on the rims, and it wasn't enough chrome to make them look good. I ended up going with chrome instead. I agree, the black rims make the car look cheap.

Never liked black rims, but to each his own.

How do 16-year olds get leases on an '08 CTS??? (She asked, guilelessly.)
