So I'll start off with some basics on my car. It's an 06 CTS-V that I plan on "ruining" with fitment.
It's my daily and the stock wheels have done me well but it was time for a change.
With the bolt pattern being 6x115, my options were to either find a set of wheels with that uncommon bolt pattern or swap to C5 wheel hubs and run some 5x120 wheels.
Originally I was going to do the 5 lug swap, but then I stumbled across some 6x115 19x8.5 Asanti AF112's that were made for the V's back in the day. I picked them up for $100 from a good friend who's brother in law had them sitting in his garage from his last V.
I liked the styling, but the full chrome and poor offset was far from my style. That's where I stand now. With all of the tires dismounted, break down of the wheels has begun.
The faces will be powder coated gunmetal gray (see Supra photo), the 1.5" lips will remain in the front and the rears will be getting a 3" lip to make it a 10" wide rear wheel.
The car currently sits on KSport coilovers with Swift springs and almost every rubber piece on the car has been replaced with polyurethane.
Enjoy the progress pics. Also, sorry for the massive pics, ill fix it next time.
