90G60 Posted August 28, 2013 Report Share Posted August 28, 2013 I realize this is a long shot, but I'm looking for a complete set of wheels for the winter. There are only a few options available in this pattern. Would prefer to buy a used set locally over buying a new set and paying $300 in shipping costs. Need to be at least 18" and 8 wide, 42 ET preferred (CTS-V fitment). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Why would shipping cost $300 ? Did these come from out of the country ? Use your stock ones for winter and buy a set of nice ones for next summer. I can't remember the exact brand name but the maker of Rota wheels has a couple styles with the correct PCD. Other than that, try Forgestar and CCW; past these two, price level gets really high. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 There is a stock chrome set in GA for $500. The seller is asking a ridiculous amount to ship. There is another set for $800 at the Cleveland Pick and Part. If it comes down to spending 800-900, I'll buy the Rota's and run them for a little while. I plan on getting CCW's for next summer. I was hoping that someone had a set of stock or accessory wheels collecting dust locally. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
POS VETT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Look for STS-V wheels also; you might need a pair of thin spacers. I believe SRX wheels don't fit due to a difference in PCD unless you want to run adapters which may pose problem with effective offset. Keep in mind that CTS-V has a very limited fender well space; a fact that pisses me off. There were CTS-V wheels and accessory wheels in CL in the past; they rarely surface. Viper wheels will work too but those are even more expensive. Just get a set of nice wheels for next summer and use your stock set for winter; they are lousy anyway.

90G60 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Appreciate the advice. A week after I bought the car there was a set of accessory wheels FS in Dayton. I emailed the guy, and they were gone within a few hours. Didn't realize the Viper wheels fit. That gives me something else to keep an eye out for.

POS VETT Posted August 29, 2013 Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Well, I should say that Viper wheels are usually very wide and a CTS-V struggles with a mere 9.5" wide wheel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
90G60 Posted August 29, 2013 Author Report Share Posted August 29, 2013 Yea after a quick google search I found a 10" front. That's not going to work... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
