    Apex Wheels for CT4-V Blackwing

    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 Blackwing Spotting Thread

    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...

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    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.

    OEM 4BW Graphite replacement wheel - part numbers?

    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).

    Narrowed down to 3 colors - help me out, pictures encouraged!

    Personally, I'd go for the DSM. Not quite the same as shadow metallic, but it's a combo similar to my '22 4 BW and I love it. I also love the Sky Cool Gray seats. But color is a personal thing so you do you. Dealer orders are almost always Summit White or Raven Black, are the only colors...

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    I think sometimes those Cadillac web page links act strangely. They all open to the Coastal blue for me, but maybe the link doesn't work the same for others. The snapshot above is of the .pdf I posted.

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    I don't see RRT anywhere on the sticker or the description. I only see Coastal Blue Metallic.

    Ultra-Rare CT4-V Blackwing Appearance Package

    Interesting Sethsquire's photos show the actual car with the standard BW plastic trunk spoiler, but the stock photos show the upgraded carbon style spoiler.

    Gas Grade

    Plus the cost of 90 (pure gas) around here is the same as premium 93 (with ethanol). I buy the 90 for my lawn equipment and for my 1992 Camaro that's basically in storage that requires premium, but I don't want ethanol in a car that runs infrequently.

    [Now Available] AWE SwitchPath™ Exhaust for the Cadillac CT4-V Blackwing

    If I were to get an aftermarket exhaust, I think I'd prefer the Corsa slanted black chrome tips. Maybe AWE will have something similar at some point.

    CT5V Bumper Removal - Help

    See the video in the link. https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/carbon-fiber-pn-database.2709/post-75700 On the CT4 there is an identical socket mounted on the top left shock tower in the engine compartment that is easy to access that you can practice on, if the CT5 has the same thing...

    Media dumps

    I think the Ioniq 5 N also has a simulated shift feature too. So who knows. I was really just yanking everyone's chain, but even if they do go with simulated shifting it's likely an auto paddle shift instead of a clutch. By the way, without looking too deeply into it the Ioniq 5 N might be...

    Did you do or are doing V academy

    Interesting to me at least, the window sticker of a 2025 CT4 in the registry thread also shows engine made in USA and 6-speed trans in Mexico. My 2022 CT4 has the engine made in Austria and the 6 speed in USA.

    Parking sensor cover/cap replacement part ?

    I have some pics from my carbon dive plane upgrade. That sensor is on the face of the inner bumper structure, so you not only have to remove the entire bumper, you'll have to separate that inner structure. I wish I had taken pics of the inner structure when I had that apart, but you can see the...
