WTB: ct5 BW wheels

[Carguyshu]

I really need a second set of wheels so that I can have an extra set for track days. Anyone want to sell either a bronze set or a graphite set? I'd even consider the polished ones as I could always have them repainted or powder coated.

Too soon bro, most of us are still waiting to even see what our wheels look like IRL!!

They're available... Check the usual GM parts wholesalers - best prices I found were around 30-35% off. I'm still not totally convinced the bronze wheels are forged (but bought a set anyway)...

I’m pretty sure all of them are forged. Thanks for the PN. If I can’t find a user set I’ll price compare new

@marfan what makes you think they are not forged wheels? Have you weighed any of them?

I *thought* that I remembered a post where Mirza said the bronze ones were heavier but I may be losing my mind. I can't find an official GM source anywhere confirming that the bronze are forged - but @Mirza Grebovic said so in this post.

I had wheels drop shipped to the shop, so I never got to weigh them without tires. The bronze set with PS4S are a couple pounds lighter than the polished with Cooper all-seasons, though I think that's to be expected given the tires.

Finally, the wheels are inscribed DICASTAL - which for a time I thought meant they were cast, but I have since realized that's the name of a company making wheels for GM.

I recall that as well in regard to the bronze wheels being heavier.

Its a 4 door. Wheel weight? 4 or 5? Cut 2 doors and see what it weighs!

That's why they are....special.

Mirza would be one of the ones to know 4 sure.

I don't really care about the weight (although unsprung weight is significantly more important than body weight) but the forged should in theory make a difference for winter pothole resistance and/or jumping curbs on the track.

More importantly, they're all about the same price so I'd rather buy a forged set if one of the three turns out to be just cast.

Check facebook blackwing owners group. Someone had a set of polished ones up for sale.

They want 3k for them, which is more than what they cost new from a dealer.
