2005 Cadillac CTS-V on WELD Solana 18-Inch Front and 17x10 Rear Drag Wheels

The 2005 Cadillac CTS-V is one of those cars that blends luxury, performance, and serious street presence all in one package. With a massive aftermarket supercharged V8 power and aggressive styling, the first-gen CTS-V has become a favorite platform for owners looking to build a fast, capable street and strip car.

Our customer Steve, known on Instagram as @427Cadillac, has his 2005 Cadillac CTS-V with a custom 5 lug conversion kit, is sitting on a clean WELD Solana Drag setup in gloss black with milled spokes. This setup gives the CTS-V a much more aggressive drag-inspired stance while still keeping the car’s refined performance look intact.

Steve is running the same WELD Solana Drag setup as the previous Camaro ZL1 feature, with 18-inch front wheel options and 17x10 rear drag wheels.

3. 18-Inch Front Wheel Options – Available in both 18x5 and 18x8 front configurations, giving owners flexibility depending on the look and performance goal.
4. Gloss Black with Milled Spokes – The gloss black finish and milled spoke details pair well with the CTS-V’s aggressive body lines.

A Clean Drag Setup for the Second-Gen CTS-V

The first-gen CTS-V has always stood out because it combines Cadillac luxury with muscle car performance. Steve’s setup leans into the performance side of the car while still keeping the overall look clean.

The WELD Solana Drag 18-inch front wheels give the front of the car a lightweight, drag-focused appearance. Out back, the 17x10 WELD Solana Drag rear wheels create a more aggressive rear stance and give the car the right foundation for a proper drag radial setup.

The gloss black finish with milled spokes works especially well on the CTS-V. It adds contrast and detail without taking away from the car’s bold factory styling. For CTS-V owners who want a drag wheel setup that looks serious but not overdone, the Solana Drag is a great choice.
