    Default Aftermarket wheels

    I don't know if this has been asked, but I see that the spare wheel of a first gen Caddy CTS will fit the Volt, but will any aftermarket wheel that fits the first gen CTS will fit the Volt? I am thinking of going to 19 inches.

    I don't know about CTS aftermarket wheels, but Tirerack (and probably others) correctly lists the Volt wheels, and has 18, 19, and I believe 20" options. Of course, you'd need some very low profile tires to keep the revolutions per mile the same...

    My 18" chrome rims are for sale from my Volt here:

    And yes, they are the exact same specs as a first Gen CTS. Lots of wheel websites still don't have the Volt listed, so you can just put in a base model 2005 CTS and you will get all their wheels that fit the Volt.

    Watch out for tire prices for 19" rims. That's an anomaly for tire pricing, and they often cost A LOT more than 18" or 20".

    I just ordered an received some new wheels. Ultimately i went with 18 X 8 as the 19's are just too darn heavy with the heavy 19 lower profile tires. I was able to order Pirelli Run Flat ECO Green LRR tires for the new alloys so this will also solve the LRR and No Spare issue. Ill post pics when they are mounted.

    BTW I ordered the TPMS from AMAZON, free shipping $120 all 4 shipped, The Tires were from Tirerack as they were almost $100 each cheaper and the wheels are from Elite Wheels. They will all be balanced and installed together next week.
