Default Have a wheel made ?????? C6 ---> CTS-V

I currently have a CTS-V

I purchased a set of C6 black motorsport wheels. I love the look, durability, and quality of the product so much that we'd (CTS-V owners) like to see about having them made for the CTS-V (6 lug 115mm)

Could I contact the main distributor/vendor/manufacturer of these wheels? I see they were assembled in China. I hope this will not pose a problem.

I am very interested, as are many of my fellow CTS-V owners in a three piece style "look" wheel. Our cars are cursed with a six lug pattern and locating a quality wheel at an affordable price is very difficult.

Do you guys think this is something that can be done?


What other options do I have? Can I make a 5 lug fit a six lug with some work? I dont know what the offsets are on the C6 motorsport wheels (i believe they are stock C6 size and offsets) .

HELP ME

Well, I know you used to be able to buy adapters to mount a 5-lug wheel on a 4-lug hub...........
I don't think I'd feel totally safe doing that, but if you have to have that wheel, a good machine shop could probably do the job for you.
Once you add the cost of custom-made adapters, I think I'd just get the 6-hole wheels, though.

There is virtually no way to get custom made cheap Chinese cast wheels. Those foundries are booked months in advance and they don't do small lots. Conversion or custom wheels are your only options. Either way is fairly expensive. I would go with a conversion so you could get 5 spoke billets. I really like the stock V wheels though.

yeah, but he needs a 6 to 5 conversion and it's available. CTS is a 6 lug and the Corvette wheel is a 5..
