Overall I'm happy with the outcome. I had new calipers resprayed carbon black metallic with added gold Brembo lettering. Wheels are Forgeline GA3R's (20x9 fronts & 20x11 rears) with the centerlock option. Tires are Michelin Super Sports.

Thanks fellas. I'm still surprised how small a 20" wheel looks on this car. It does have a big booty.

I would've gone 21", but still looks very very nice and definitely unique. Love the centerlock!

I wanted to maintain some ride comfort so a 25 series tire was a no go for me. The car def' needs big wheels to offset the Kardashianesque' rear.

I was actually trying to get a bit of the old school black/gold combination to go with the caddy. My teenage years were in the late 70's and early 80's. It might not be for everyone, but I like the color scheme.


Note the new "V" emblem location on the door.
