Your car looks amazing! Thanks for sharing photos.
They only know how to use an impact gun with an impact socket, which is where the issue can lie. If they used a chrome/thin-walled socket, it would work fine.
For forged wheels where each one is machined from block of aluminum and designed...
This is correct. The factory lugs will work when used with a thin walled socket.
For people who desire to use an impact socket (Please don't impact your lug nuts on/off), anything with a 19mm hex will work. I believe both Gorilla and McGuard offer solutions in M14x1.5 thread pitch for that.
Those are 19", and I'm 99% sure the car is lowered but do not recall what the owner said for springs.
Looks amazing! Is this 19x10" ET20 front and 19x11" ET44 rear with factory tires? Mind if I add them to the website?
Offset changes with wheel width, so there is more than a 1mm difference. As you can see here, the 18x10" ET42 sits just over 7mm further out compared to the 18x9.5" ET43. The Orange car is factory suspension, yes.
Thanks for the order! The front wheel will be essentially in the same spot as the factory wheel, but the rear will be slightly further out. Not sure which offset 9.5" you ordered, but if it was ET43 it'll be 5mm further out and if its ET35, it'll be 13mm further out.
Just to confirm in case anyone else is curious, because I believe we already spoke directly over email, but yes the 18x9.5" ET22 front, 18x10" ET42 rear setup is a direct fit with the factory tires and can only improve the handling, since you are getting a little more of that tire onto the...
We did test fit 295/35-18 but it's pretty tall for the rear and would likely rub under compression with the 18x10.5" ET40 wheel. Is it doable? I think so, but it would depend on how much you like your fender liners, or if the track(s) you visit have large sections of heavy compression. 295/30-18...
Correct, everyone I've talked to directly has been purchasing them for winter use with 255/35-18 tires all around.
I suppose it could work just fine as a daily/street oriented setup too, again with the same size tire, but some people may not prefer the smaller rear tire look.
Traditionally our Black Friday sales have been an even bigger savings compared to most Group Buys, and that isn't going to change for this year either. Everything has been finalized, you'll just have to wait as patiently as possible for everything to go live on November 20th :)
There are no plans to do a run of smaller bore wheels, since they would be the exact same spec as what we currently offer just with a different center bore. We include aluminum rings for free with every Blackwing order on the website. There are no safety concerns or issues running the rings...
18x9" ET30 works front and rear as a square setup, we've been selling a number of those setups to owners over the past few weeks in preparation for winter. The next sale will be over Black Friday, we are not doing Group Buys anymore as a company. I touched on that in another thread
Hello everyone! My name is Cory and I’m the Domestic Product Expert here at Apex Wheels. We’re very excited to finally support the Cadillac V & Blackwing community with many of our current offerings.
For those whom we have not yet had the pleasure of working with, since 2007, our focus at Apex...
Hey, we appreciate the enthusiasm! Over the summer we decided to move away from Group Buys going forward in an effort to improve the customer experience. Too often, Group Buys were saddled with long wait times and further delays.
Any promotions we will have as a company will be in the form of a...
I know this is an older thread but now that we're actually supporting vendors, I wanted to hop in and thank everyone for the discussion and feedback. I made numerous notes from all of your comments which will be helpful for us moving forward as we explore more with the Blackwing models...
Well that's a fun feature, sorry about that. We're looking into it now why the others aren't displaying. In the meantime you can find them here if you need to purchase asap...
Correct, no spacers with that setup posted earlier.
This looks amazing, mind if I toss that photo on our website gallery?
Yep plenty of 18" fitments work well on the CT4-V BW and clear the brakes without issue. Here's a link to everything we currently offer...
Hey there, we did discover a few fitments in the EC-7 and SM-10 designs that give the car a more aggressive appearance as well. Those are being updated as we speak and the EC-7 can be seen in this video below:
Flow Formed EC-7 in Race Silver
Front: 18x9.5” ET22 w/ 265/35-18
Rear: 18x10.5” ET40...
Hey everyone! We're really excited to officially be a supporting vendor of this forum.
There are a number of fitments we currently produce that work great on both the CT4-V and CT5-V Blackwings. I will post links to each fitment guide, they've been up for a couple months on the site actually...
