Mine's a '22 and they're like new. Only 8k on the mileage though.

I didn't have an issue putting on the Apex wheels, but I had a problem when I switched back to the OEM wheels in Spring last year. The centering rings stayed on the wheels except for one that stayed on the hub, and I didn't notice it until I torqued down the factory wheel on it. I thought it...

Maybe a stupid question, but do you still have the original wheels with tires on them? If so, put one back on and see if the clicking goes away. That can narrow down if it's the Apex wheel or something else. My original wheels have the all-seasons on them, so I swap for winter.

I like the red one.

I've been happy with the carbon ceramic Powerstop pads. Z26-1405 (front) & 1053 (rear), $147 for both sets on Amazon. Price is up about $20 now (about 5 weeks later). Virtually no dust, work fine, and silent. If you're just changing the pads, it's the easiest brake job I've ever done since you...

They should download when you select them. But here are image snapshots of those pdf files:

Is this the part?

If you play music on USB on Random (Shuffle), it randomly drops Random. 😏 Navigation volume is in the manual. But I didn't find it until after a trip that I used it. Maybe it's different for Andriod maps.

But...your car doesn't speak German!

Personally, I wouldn't want any more than the 9.5 ET35 with stock tire has. Looking at it, the tread is within the wheel well lip but the sidewall bulges past it slightly.

We've been kicking around the idea of a C&C in Dayton.

The five parked in a row (from right to left) are my Shadow Metallic 2022 CT-4V BW, then another Columbus Chapter Cadillac Club local member with his 2011 manual CTS-V in Black Diamond, then a new member from Dayton in his black 2024 CT5-V BW, then forum member captchunk25 in his Electric Blue...

Like many of the colors, photos don't do Rift justice. I've only seen one in real life, in the dealer showroom. But even there the metallic flake made it more interesting than standard summit white to me.

I've got two brand new front polished wheels I was going to use for winter tires but ended up with Apex for Summers when the rears went on constraint. The 25.2 is my measurement because I wanted to compare the Apex VS-5RS (17.9 front, 18.2 rear, same as OEM widths).
