hi everybody!
i recently bought the 2004 cts & i am already thinking of putting 20" rims on them. i'd like to see some pics of all u cts owners that have done this already (just wanna see various rim styles for the cts before i decide on picking a rim). the giovanna abruzzos are the only ones i think go good w/ the car but don't think the bolt pattern can house the rim...or can it??)
which one of u guys is gonna change my mind?

thanx in advance guys!!

18" Wheels

BuildingCTSAMG:

What size tires do you have mounted to those 18" rims? 225/45R18? The new CTS-v will have 245/45R18's. Any ideas on who would make a rim big enough to fit these? Will there be a significant enough performance change between the 245/45R18 and 225/45R18?

Thanks!
Glenn

Park Assist

It doesn't look like Cadillac has made Park Assist an option on the CTS.....how much does it cost to get it installed?

My car has 245/40/18 on 8.5 in wide rims, they are much more wider than the stock tires . Although in my opinion going with 9in or more wider rims is just to wide for the car

Are those Lowenharts LD1's? Those rims are sick! Car looks tits!

Here are some pics I had of my 20s. They are Dub Bellagios. If you aren't familiar with the rim, they are "spinners." (They continue to spin for about 5 minutes when the wheel stops moving.) I'm not sure if you are interested in spinners. I think the looks of these can't be beat. The downsides are: hassle of accessing valve stem, hassle of removing wheel (extra tools & expertise needed), and price (these ran $7000 for the set, plus tires).

Good news about 20s. They fit well with no rub and still a great turning radius. They look great, and the ride isn't compromised.

:yawn: I think 19s or 20s would look good. I've got 18's and I would prefer more wheel and a lower profile tire, something dignified for the CTS. Plenty of options to choose from. Hopefully, the manufactuers will take the hint and start offering 19s or 20's as a factory option. I'm not impressed with most aftermarket wheels. The 16s and 17s OEM wheels offered are a joke. The CTS-V wheels are NICE!Give us more! :bonkers:

I am reminded of a set of 19s that one of the forum's most esteemed members, 'miscreant', posted a couple months ago...

Hopefully, he'll chime in and tell us if he ever installed larger brakes.

I have a kit to put 18" XLR wheels on our cars. Click the link below my signature to find the auction for XLR wheels. I can also sell just the wheels and hub kits for $1200. The styling of the XLR wheel makes it look more like a 19" wheel than an 18" wheel.

cheers,

cardio-doc,

Will these fit onto a SRX?
