The Cadillac ATS-V is a head-turning vehicle right from the factory thanks to unique styling, an athletic stance, an integrated rear spoiler and standard 18-inch alloy wheels. One way to easily give the compact performance luxury model even more road-presence, though, is with a set of bigger aftermarket wheels.
Vossen recently filmed a Cadillac ATS-V Coupe outfitted with a set of its Hybrid Forged HF-5 wheels, which pulls inspiration from motorsports, making them a perfect fit for the luxurious performance coupe. After all, Cadillac previously raced the ATS-V in the Pirelli World Challenge Series, so the motorsports-inspired look of this particular wheel is quite fitting.
The Hybrid Forged VF-5 wheels on this Cadillac ATS-V measure in at 19×9.5 inches in the front and 19×10.5 inches in the back. For those keeping rack at home, that’s larger than the stock 18×9 inch fronts and 18×9.5 inch rears. The Vossen wheels are wrapped in a set of sticky Continental SportContact tires and hide a set of gold painted V-Series brake calipers. Completing this car’s unique appearance are a set of red Vossen valve stem caps, black painted exterior trim and black painted Cadillac logos.
The Cadillac ATS-V was produced between the 2016 and 2019 model years and was available as both a two-door coupe and four-door sedan. The performance compact came standard with a twin-turbocharged 3.6L V6 engine (production code LF4) churning out 464 horsepower and 445 pound-feet of torque. A six-speed manual transmission was standard, though an eight-speed automatic was also offered as an extra. In both cases, power was sent to the rear wheels.
Standard Magnetic Ride Control kept the ride smooth and/or sporty when cruising, when carving some twisties or at the track, while powerful Brembo brakes help bring the package to a stop.
While the Cadillac ATS-V is no longer for sale, Cadillac recently introduced the CT4-V Blackwing, which rides on an evolved version of the ATS-V’s platform and uses the same twin-turbo V6 engine. The CT4-V Blackwing, which is only available as a four-door sedan, starts at $61,425.
