Signature Wheel's Cadillac Blackwing Adventures

I bought some 18" Shelby Cobra wheels with the knock-offs for my Dodge Challenger. After receiving them and having them mounted on my car, I noticed that the valve stems were mounted on the "inside" of the wheels. They said it was for a "cleaner" look. I say it is a huge pain in the azz whenever I need to put air in the tires ! Never get wheels with this set up. The front valve stems just barely clear the calipers. I have the shortest valve stems that you can buy. My next step is to put wheel spacers on the front for better clearance.

Perhaps 90 degree or 45 degree valve stems for a option.
 
The 90 and 45 stick out even further than the "shorty" ones I have. Putting a spacer on the wheels is the only way to go.

Okay...I like those... (y)
Thank you. We're very happy with them. Here are are few more pics.

And I'll add that the buying experience was just as first-rate as the wheels themselves. Terrence is a pleasure to deal with. The wheels arrived on time, in perfect condition, and were exactly as ordered. They mounted and balanced perfectly on the first try. Highly recommended!

The only hiccup was very minor: the factory lug nuts fit perfectly, as promised. I didn't mention that my car also came with factory wheel locks. And the key-socket that comes with them is just a bit too large to work. So a purchased some tuner-style wheel locks, and they fit perfectly. We couldn't be more pleased.

It says OEM+ above. What sizes and offsets did you wind up with? Did you happen to weigh them?

I'll have to let Terrance explain what is meant by "OEM+" with respect to offset, backspacing, etc.

My request was to have 19x10s & 19x11s that were direct-swap replacements for the OEM wheels, allowing me to mount the original tires using the original lug nuts and TPMS sensors. No spacers, adapters, centering rings, etc.

And they nailed it!

No, I didn't weigh them. But after lugging them to the detailer for ceramic coating and back home again then moving the OEM wheels around for storage, I can say that they are noticeably lighter.

The quote reads:

Signature Wheel Forged
Monoblock SV103
2022 - 2023 Cadillac CT5-V
Blackwing OEM+ Spec
Maximum Concave & Drop Cup
Brushed Titanium Vintage Color
Matched Center cap 19x10 19x11

Appreciate you sharing more. It looks so good.

Weight wise these should be about 20 lbs lighter overall. OEM+ refers to a spec that allows you to reuse the OEM tires while maximizing the wheel fitment and concavity.

If we want "actual tire choice options" spec on the 4BW, can that be accomodated too?

Relatively slim pickings in the standard fitment has me worried about the longer term. Would be amazing to get something that fit a more common size.
