The original M5 wheel looks way better and more classy than the American version though. THe chroming just spells "Bling" in my dictionary.

Note to all those on the thread bashing the "American designers running out of ideas" or "Americans not being good at design"....

These bad boys are nothing to do with Cadillac. They are made by an independent aftermarket wheel maker. So Cadillac didn't copy the wheels after all

You sure? The Forge-tec is too bling bling for me. I like the finish of the OEM 166 better. Hey, to each his own...
