IMG_2505.JPGCan anyone identify these wheels?

Perhaps Z-06 Vette?

I have searched many suppliers and cannot find similar ones.

The centre cap is not a true Caddy image.

Thanks,

Gord.

Those are corvette "spyder" wheels. I don't know if their base,z51,or z06. One way to check is the rear sizing. Z51and z06 would have a 19/11 which the base would be 19/10. Check ebay they have all the models available.

Thank you Stella.

I thought they were Vette wheels. The size of mine is 18", Not 19".

Looking on eBay you can get those wheels in either a 18 or 19. The ones I saw are reproductions and the offered different sizes and offsets. Thought they looked good.
 
XLR 18" Wheels Continued.

All:

I received my laminated Build Sheet and Window Sticker recently.
They are nicely done, complete with masking tape on the Build Sheet!

I note that the Options list PD5 XLR Chrome Wheels, $1,000.

Does anyone have a photo of that option? I have been unable to find it to date.

Thanks,

Gord.

Sorry I don't have any photos. If your trying to see if the wheels on your car are original. One way is to look at the backside of the lug mounting area. If their factory wheels they will have GM stamped in it along with the part#,size,and offset.
 
What year XLR?

What year is your XLR?
 
I've seen those and another pair that have a thinner spoke than the V wheel. Theirs a lot of spokes maybe thirty and the whole rim and spokes are polished. Arn't they the wheels that come on the platinum version's? Need to see if the wheels in question are GM stamped.
 
This what I found on a quick search for your $1000 wheel option:

I believe so.....they are the Platinum version.

After further searching the 2008 XLR PD5 chrome wheel this is more likely the wheel that was on Gord's '08 XLR:

Not the ones I have Mike. These appear to be 2009 units. Was your search for 2008?
A photo of mine at the top of the thread.
Thanks for looking.
Gord.

The wheels you currently have on your XLR, I've never seen in the XLR wheel line up? :dunno: Stella identified your current wheels as Corvette wheels, for me, I can't say :dunno:.

The wheel I found for the '08 base is the 7 spoke I posted from eBay. More than likely, it's the wheels your XLR had installed from the factory. Maybe someone else on the forum could say for sure, but I think the "PD5" code on your build sheet means CROME.

}these are the vette "spyder" wheels. Victor is right on the pd5 option maybe the prior owner sold the stock wheels. Only way to find out for sure is check the lug area it'll have markings of manufacturer.
 
These are definitely not Cadillac wheels. The first picture victor V posted are 2009 XLR platinum edition wheels. If yours is an 08 it most likely had the second posted picture he offered. Cadillac did offer another wheel, but I don't believe they we're put on at the factory, it was a dealer offered upgrade. Homegameroom has a set on his 04 base model. The only other Cadillac wheel is the 19", 10 spoke V wheel.

Btw, the center cap is a Cadillac center cap....for the V wheels.

Thanks. I will research Vette wheels. Mine do have the Caddy Crest in the Centre Cap. Perhaps C6 Z06
Not sure where that came from. 2.5" OD. I will pull a wheel and find out whats behind it.
Gord.
 
I too like the look of the Spyder wheel. I wonder what the specs are and if a big brake kit would work?

This is what the '06-'08 V chrome option wheels look like.
