ok so i just got a 03 perl white cts last week, 110km on her (i think thats about 70mi) got her cheap $13,700(for being in canada anyway haha). she is absolutly mint!!! and came with 3000km on the gm extended warranty, not much but enough to make the purchase a little more comfortable.
anyway
im looking for rims..i had 20s on my 2002 jimmy and it was a really ruff ride...i was thinking 18s on the cts..will they look too small? or will they look good? i dont want them to look overkill on it, but i want it to look good.
also i want to change the reer bezle on the trunk to the 04+ style..what are they worth? anyone have a perl white 1 kicking around?
and the onstar antena on the reer window...i gotta take it off for the tint thats gonna be goin on soon, but i want 1 connected, my dad works at a gm dealer and apparently if there is a airbag deployment and the onstar is NOT activated they are still notified. and it happened to on of his customers. so is there a easy way to get the 04+ shark fin one connected up? its not a big deal if i dont but it would be nice.

BTW im new in here

Isnt the shark fin for XM? Or is there another one they install when onstar is changed to the digital

i thought the shark fin was for the digital onstar..? i have xm in my car but it didnt come with it, i have the portable unit...im gonna try to get a hold of a ashtray/lighter plug section that (the one that when you puch on it it pops out) im gonna customise to have my xm unit flush in it so i can hide it whenever i want. just gotta find 1 at a wreckers. then find out how to take it appart lol.

anyone have a pic of the cts on 20s and on 18s? stock suspension.

18"s look great, as well as 20"s.
16"s look tiny!!!

that silver 1 on 20s looks sick...did you tint around the onstar antena? and where did you get the tint done, im lookin for a hookup,i drive by milton like 3x a week.
my cts doesnt have 16s its the lux sport with the chrome 17s..but they are in really bad shape, no curb rash just chrome is chipping off and looks like a lot of salt damage to them
and whats the tint % on the white cts? looks dark...but good...i like dark

darkest tint in my area is 35%. Po-po in my area are all pretty cool. They dont mess with me at all. Thats why I donate quite a bit of money to thier department....

i think im gonna go with some 18s...they will be a smoother ride i think. i really like the look of the 07ish caddy 18 inch sport rims. look like 10 spoke (estimate)..i think ima try to get my hands on something like that or those ones. ide like to keep the caddy symbol on the rims.
