The Cadillac CT6 sold in relatively low numbers before it was axed following the 2020 model year, and as a result, we haven’t seen very many customized examples of the large luxury sedan before.
Miami-based wheel manufacturer Vossen recently shared a gallery of a customer’s Cadillac CT6 fitted with a set of its ‘Hybrid Forged’ wheels, giving us an idea of a bit of a reminder of what a customized Cadillac CT6 looks like. That said, this customer’s car remains mostly stock, with the list of upgrades only including 22-inch Vossen VFS-2 wheels, lowering springs, painted turquoise brake calipers and dark tinted windows.

The Vossen VFS-2 wheel is available in 19-inch, 20-inch and 21-inch diameters and starts at $599 per wheel. The wheel design is also offered in a variety of finishes in addition to the brush silver finish featured on the Cadillac CT6, including Satin Bronze, Gloss Black, Satin Black and Anthracite.
This particular Cadillac CT6 appears to be a pre-2019 model based on the front fascia design and taillights. GM implemented a facelifted front fascia on the sedan for the 2019 model year, which features a larger front grille and different taillights. This facelifted exterior styling remained until the vehicle was discontinued at the end of 2020.
It’s hard to say which engine this vehicle features, as GM offered a wide variety of powertrain options in the CT6 from 2016 to 2018, including the naturally aspirated 3.6L LGX V6, twin-turbocharged 3.0L LGW V6 and turbocharged 2.0L LTG I-4. The Cadillac CT6 PHEV was also offered at this time, which paired the turbocharged 2.0L LNF engine with a two-motor transmission and a small 18.4 kWh lithium-ion battery pack.
While GM has no plans to offer another large internal combustion engine sedan in the future, the Cadillac Celestiq electric sedan will fill this gap in the automaker’s portfolio when it launches in 2024.

… for sure this car has problems of gap in wheelhouse which makes noises of rubber rubbing the metal and very hard suspension, not comfortable… which feels a lot the holes and bumps of roads … so not for me, like comfortable way of driving
Cadillac really needs to go back to using names
… yep… Seville, De Ville, Fleetwood etc… agree, nobody knows what is a CT4, CT5, CT6, XT 4, seems a BMW
Did you miss the announcement of the LYRIQ & CELESTIQ?
… horrible names… this ‘tic’ pronunciation strong at end… is like a car stopping hard at red light… the music saying seville is much more authentic soft like a feather floating… sublime…
MK… Agree with your comment on the new Cadillac model names, Lyriq and Celestiq. They reek of a lipstick or perfume product from Estee Lauder.
What happened to bold, classy names like Eldorado and Fleetwood?
Definitely signed off by Mary Barra. Hank the Duce would never go for such model names. Ahh…the Lincoln Continental, Capri. Henry Ford II, RIP.
Before signing to buy or lease…… take a 15 mile test drive over varying roadways. Only then you will come to learn why buyers are passing on this behemoth and heading to most any other non-GM dealership to purchase or lease a better driving road car. Cadillac hasn’t designed and built a great car since the 2012 model year.
If they made a coupe, it would look pretty hot. 4 doors are family cars, not sports.
Lol bunch of b.s this car rides extremely well and is very very smooth.
And yet, due to poor sales, GM quit making them in February 2020
Poor sales have nothing to do with it. If you had been paying attention, the plant needed space to produce BT1 BEV models. The Impala sold well and it was discontinued so sales was an afterthought.
Sales had everything to do with it. GM announced a 2019 model year 50,000 unit sales expectation for the CT6 but sold less than 6000. You are right it wasn’t cancelled due to “poor” sales it was cancelled due to DISMAL sales results.
Uhhhh, the article is about a Cadillac lowered with aftermarket wheels and low profile tires.
Oh thought you ment the car in general my bad
Interesting all of your test rides were manufactured by foreign owned corporations. Perhaps produced in America but manufactured by foreign owned corporations. GM like almost all former “American” auto manufacturers suffers from a lack of innovation. GM is busy trademarking descriptive adjectives while their completion is actually designing and building latest technology vehicles. The exception being the activities of the Corvette Leadership Team. The GM Board is too concerned with bonus vs a long term quality product. GM has gone on record with EV vehicles. Wake up, their plan does not include them being manufactured in America
My test drive was great compared to the Infinity, Lexus, and the Genesis. Not sure what your choice of ride is, except some models come with 19″ and 18″ wheels making the sidewall larger absorbing the noise better, but those imports I mentioned here are no better or no worst. Hitting bumps in the road all felt the same… This is based on ride only and steering wheel feel only – nothing else.
I think we have biased writers that haven’t test drove these cars… JMO
Harley Earl pushed the GM brass to build low cars back in the 30s. My family has been building custom vehicles with lowered stances since the 1930s. It’s even more popular now than ever and we have some very good suspension components that work extremely well. All it takes is coins
Nothing wrong getting better looking aftermarket rims but make sure they are the same size rims that you are replacing and don’t go any bigger in risk hurting the ride quality and messing up other parts of the vehicle potentially.
LA Gangbanger Special.
Did you get the misfits flannel or the Kruger and hallow flannel?
I got the Dixxon Misfits and the Hallow flannels. Danny is doing lots of long sleeve flannel releases this season. Nice threads. Saw lots of folks wearing Dixxons at the SEMA Show and Reno Street Vibrations this year.
Also Danny’s inventory is much deeper than in the past so you aren’t shut out on your order within the first 20 seconds. What a success story for this dude and his company. I like his Blackest Friday pricing at $30 bucks for a Dixxon long sleeve flannel. GO DIXXON!
LOve my 2016 CT6! I ride with 22 inches on this baby and can’t stop smiling. It does impact the ride quality somewhat but it is a show stopper and I always look forward to putting it the highway! Cruises with such ease and get up.
What suspension did they use on the CT6
