Default New CTS V wheels
Has anyone tried photoshopping these wheels on a C5 by chance?

I think that Cadillac center emblem would look sweet on a C5!

The new Forgeline EV1 wheels are "similar" and are made to fit...

They look really close. One of my favorite wheels, waiting to see somebody do a set in gunmetal or black on a Vette.

I have access to a great looking black chrome powdercoat. It comes out in different shades depending if you spray the part when its hot/cold or if its polished or not.

Or I just leave them chrome.......I don't know what will look the best.

I'm surprised no one has called me dumb for wanting a wheel that looks so similar to the stock wheel.

Maybe I should just man up & get some CCW's.
