It says the 20s will fit our vehicles. They give you Toyo R1s, from what I hear, those are respectable tires. Input?

it LOOKS like the 20x8.5 will fit....it is the right offset and bolt pattern. You just have to make sure the rim is actually machined down enough to clear our big brakes!

Yeah, there little make/model checker told me they would fit. But that could always be off. If I got these, would I lose my TPMS?

The TPMS may or may not bolt up. You can get bands to mount them around your new rims. The place that you are buying the rims from PROBABLY has the bands.

Someone new just posted pictures. They came on his V when he purchased it.

Yeah, I found a pic of them on a V. The spokes do NOT come in black, though, as you can see in the pic, he painted them. Could someone photoshop them chrome so I could see how they look? I'd greatly appreciate it. Also, how do you guys blackout your taillights? I've had other cars, which, being they were cheaper and more abundant had like "kits" you could buy. I don't see any "kits" for our cars, so, how do CTS-V owners do it? My 350Z I used window tint on before, but, it didn't look right, so I bought a kit. I don't want to use regular tint.

Who is "pete", is he a known vendor on here? Also, what HREs did you get and how much did you pay? Also, does "pete" offer tire and wheel packages?

After seeing them on the car, I think they look too ghetto for my taste. It looks like something 50 cent would have on his CTS-V. =/ I appreciate all the help, guys. This forum seems a lot more friendly than ones I've been in with previous cars.

Lol, you must have caught everyone on a good day...threads about 20"+ wheels are usually very controversial around here!

Yeah, it's awkward for me to want such large wheels. I used to be into performance with my 350Z and Lancer Evolution. I went to lengths to even get SMALLER than stock rims. But this car I don't drive on a track or anything crazy. I just want some wheels to make it look less "plain". My salesman has these on his car: http://i48.photobucket.com/albums/f231/holliclark/qhwwla1.jpg


Something like that would be nice, or, I was looking into accessory rims. Does anyone know how much those go for?

I got the C22 six spoke super light wheels...

Pete is also known as Piete, he has an offer right now in this forum for HRE deal...Talk to him directly and he will hook you up with a great price...I do not know if he will get you a tire and wheel package. I just got wheels from him and tires from my local supplier...
