Also, I currently have the 18inch 12 spoke polished wheels that come with the sport package. The finish is starting to peel pretty heavy on two of them, but I know a lot of people like these wheels and wondered if anyone would still want to buy them and powder coat them or something!
I might be interested in your rims. could you please post some pictures of them either on photobucket or imgur? i am looking for an upgrade from my stock 16 and I don't mind powder coating them. Also are you located in the US or Canada?
Unfortunately, the ebay link is the only place that I have been able to find any pictures :hmm::From what I can see they look pretty sweet. I just hope they are not cheap quality. But as far as my wheels, I went to rebalance them at my shop due to feeling some vibration and found out that two of them are slightly bent and have been repaired before. (by previous owner) Thanks Nebraska roads :helpless:. Although they have been repaired, it wasn't the best job ive ever seen so you still feel it some. So basically at this point I am taking offers.
I like the look of those replicas as well. I'm not looking to purchase wheels right now, but hopefully someone will buy those and let us know how they are.
a lot of people have trouble when uploading pics directly to the site mainly because it's reserved for premium members. I normally use imgur. You can upload pics, create an album, and then link the whole album. Or you can make a photobucket account, upload them to photobucket, and then link them to the site.

try and take as many pictures of where the rims were bent and then repaired. I have a guy out here who is a mad scientist with things of that nature and since we're best buds he'll do it for real cheap.

I will make a photobucket and upload some detailed pics. I ordered the replica cts-v wheels and they will be here early next week. Would you be willing to wait until I swap out wheels to get you the pics?
Finally got the wheels today! They look pretty damn nice so far! I will probably be mounting them tomorrow so I will try and get some pics for everyone asap.
I started reading this thread and decided to try these wheels too. Just hope they're worth it. Anyway thanks for the heads-up.
I ordered the chrome ones on a 07 white diamond, should be delivered tomorrow. Putting on Hankook Ventus S1 noble2 245/45ZR18 all around. Hope to start mounting them tomorrow evening if I can get them on the wheel without to much trouble. View attachment 143553

Here is a sneak peak of the v-replicas in black chrome with the factory caddy center caps! No worries, I will get better pictures that are during the day. I love the wheels, they look great and they bolted right up! Unfortunately for me I found out that my goodyears not only look stupid with the wheels but are so incredibly out of round that they were what was causing the vibration in the first place. They are junk and they are barely a year old. I would definitely recommend sportier looking tires for these wheels. Good news is though, the factory rims that I need to sell, just need powder coated or refinished and should be good to go!
Iceman_jd,
That is a very nice looking ride, those rims look right at home. Question for you, they appear to be chrome but just to be sure are those the chrome replica wheels or the black chrome that CadiFTW installed on his ride? Thanks.
Alright everyone, I finally got some pictures of the new wheels and swapped out the goodyears that I originally had on for some sportier run flats. Sorry for the crappy quality!
Thanks! But I'm pretty sure it's one level below V's, so I think it's FE4. I want to drop the back a little but not sure how to go about doing the conversion from the air ride.
Nope. Get yourself a set of lowering springs and shocks!
