Glad you got those bronze wheels you wanted. I like the factory style wheels, but the Apex style is a design I've always liked, and they are amazingly light compared to factory. It's nice to also have the winter tires on the originals to change things up a bit each year.

I bought these Amazon.com and drilled out the center so the stock Cadillac cap could plug into it unmodified. The outer diameter is identical, only the hole size to fit is different. Use a 2 1/8" hole saw (matches the 54 mm Cadillac cap) in the flat cap and the Cadillac cap will plug in...

I got the Apex VS-5RS satin black, 18x9 ET30 and 18x9.5 ET35 last December, but haven't installed them yet. I mounted all-season Falkens on the stock rims and the original Michelins on the Apex. I'll be installing them later this month. They come with hub spacers but the offsets are said to work...

I use tweezers.

Sort of the reverse of yours, the bottom photo Carbon fiber PN database. shows the OEM splitter and dive planes with the Tapout wheel deflectors. Several pages up that thread you can see some tips about installing the splitter. My car and much of that discussion is about upgrading a non-CF1 car...

Congrats and welcome! For the splitter, I'd suggest just using some tape like this Amazon.com as a stopgap while the replacement is on it's way. I can't imagine any of the ebay types would fit well or match OEM. Since you're in Ohio too, you could check out Tapout Tuning Tapout Tuning CT4-V...

I know a lot of people hate on MT citing traffic, but I've driven in traffic for years with a MT and it doesn't bother me one bit. I'm like you, it's simple just to sit in neutral and ease into gear for a little forward progress. It's more footwork, but so is driving a stick in general.

In one comparison where some of us (including me) were considering, the Audi RS3 was 2 seconds faster than the CT4 BW. I wonder why the difference between the 2022 and 2023 CT4? Just different days, or auto vs. manual? We all know they are the same mechanically.

Interesting demo about ppf and paint correction: And another one:

Pan just did a new video regarding wheel ceramic coating. It is about doing them on the car, but he mentions several brands to use I'm no expert, but I can't say I agree with him that heat resistance makes wheel specific products beneficial. I agree with DIY that wheels shouldn't get so much...

This thread should give you an idea of what they can do: Tapout Tuned CT4-V Blackwing Hits Nines! https://www.cadillacvnet.com/forums/threads/tapouts-flagship-ct4-v-blackwing-tops-700-whp.3233/post-86834

This has CT4 Blackwing wheels, so that should qualify it to be posted here :cool: https://gmauthority.com/blog/2024/02/joe-biden-off-lease-2018-cadillac-ats-v-is-up-for-auction/

My car had black mirror caps, all weather floor mats, and black lug nuts (no locks). The original painted mirror caps and the standard V floor mats were in the trunk. I did not have the original lug nuts though, either. They should give you the painted mirror caps, and if you paid for locks they...

I was confused about some of those fasteners too. I bought these https://www.amazon.com/dp/B08HS6RTY4?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1 that match others in the interior and used a couple. You'll have a lifetime supply, but they are cheap.

When I asked about the EC-7 and VS-5RS, they confirmed stock lugs will work. Two caveats; you can't use a spacer more than 3 mm and you'll need a thin walled socket.

Recent promo email from Cadillac mentioned V Series merch. Most of you probably got it too. I found one item with specific Blackwing on it, a polo: Blackwing Polo | Cadillac Collection A little pricey for my taste, although I think it looks good. The rest of the merch: | Cadillac Collection

That's what I'm doing. Installed the all seasons on the OEM wheels, and moved the Michelins to the Apex. I'm modding an extra set of Cadillac center caps to fit the Apex for a more OEM look.
