I parked next to a stock a4 avant today and it was only like 1 or 2in lower in height if that. I think it is just the sharp angular lines that make people think it looks like an suv.

Does look more like a wagon slammed but also looks unfunctional for a very functional ride. I like the top wheels but rathet see them on jeremys ride height. Good looking wheels though. Bottoms are gross imo.

I love the top wheels...looks like 3 piece HRE...ha!!

Right...that's some bucks!

Bottom ones I actually like because simple, classic design, and sporty and easy to clean.

Yeah I actually like both wheels too. Each for a different reason. I bet the tops set you back somewhere in the range of 5-7k.

Theyll be who i go to for new custom forged barrels to fit the discontinued work faces. Probably go step lip to go from 18x8 to 19x9.5
Thats where i got the 3" lips for my C2s

The problem is, they need to swap wheels, THEN each wagon would look properly 'outfitted' with the right 'shoes'.

Air ride or not, I prefer a static stance and the black one has it right.

Perhaps a foolish question, but does the V Coupe hood fit the same year V wagon hood?

I actually like the aggressiveness of the Coupe hood, just wondering if anyone has done that.

It is foolish, they're the same hood.

LOL...maybe he's seen a modified one...weaponx or something. I love how subtle yet not subtle the oem hood is.
I'm a static selector as well, sir.

Thank you, Cadillac expert........

For those who aren't experts, I was referring to this Coupe hood,


There was also another pic a page or so back with a similar hood that I thought was an OEM hood.

So, either the 'Mo'fo'...did I say that right, Caddy 'expert' can respond, or someone else......to enlighten me about all things Caddy OEM.

That fucking hood also says twin turbo..
Just to be clear, the coupe doesn't come out of assembly with twin turbos, in case you believed that too.
