^^^^ not a bad chop at all. 5 star wheels are muscle to the max and they always look great on the Riv.

I tried pulling the Cragars off of our Camaro and putting them on, but there wasn't enough offset. Need spacers.

They're the old school universal ones. They slid over the wheel studs but not all the way down to the hub because they hit the caliper.

Anyone know how much factory wheel (not the chrome ones) and tire weighs?

Got 48 pound wheel+tire combos on the way.

Thanks for that!

Dang. I was hoping to be closer to stocker weight

Mine combo is 17.7lb wheel + 28lb tire = 45.7lb cry

Just 4 rears, probably going to run 235/45/18s instead of the OEM 225/50/18s.



Hey Matt would they be the 18x7? Because I was thinking of these Bonneville gxp wheels but I think they are 18x8. Would they work?

The Bonneville wheels look slightly different, but they will work just fine. All GXPs had 18x8 in the front 18x7 in the rear. The 18x8s have a different offset (22mm?) than the 18x7s (55mm?) so it brings them out. You would probably like the 18x8s a lot better than the 18x7s because they will end up a lot flusher to the fenders. GP guys have been running GXP 18x8s all around for years without issue, so you'll be fine.

That's good news , thanks Matt. I wasn't sure if it made a difference with the rims hitting the caliper because of the offset. My buddy smashed his 04 Bonnie gxp and gave me a rim and 3 tires so I'm going to start hunting on ebay

Yep, they'll clear just fine. The 18x8s SHOULD also clear the Brembo 4 pistons off of the CTS-V, as well as the 6 pistons if you use a spacer. It might not be a bad idea to grab the spare from his GXP because it is bigger and has more clearance than our stock spare in case you ever decide to go bigger. His front brakes will also bolt right up and use a 12.7" rotor VS the stock 11.9" as well as a dual piston caliper VS the stock single piston. However, these brakes will not clear the OEM Rivi wheels/spare.

I would like to see some pictures of Riviera with different wheels. I went through all 60 pages and while a few pictures remain, most are no longer up for viewing. I am looking at getting some different wheels and wanting to see the different styles on the Riviera. Doing the google search gets me lots of pictures with dubs or bigger. Thanks

Can the owner of this car chime in with the specs of the wheels and tires. Also how the finish of the Black Pearl looks in different shades of light.  I am a chrome person, but the new Black Chrome/Black Pearl is catching my eye more and more each day.

There was a member on here a few years ago that won the calendar cover 2 or 3 years in a row (snowdog I believe?). I absolutely love his rims, even the paint is amazing.

When Snowdog (Timo) got those rims from his father I asked about them. Wanted to buy a set over here.

They were only available in European countries. To have a set shipped to the US was way too much money.

But they are nice looking rims.
