addicted_to_coffee Posted October 9, 2006 Report Share Posted October 9, 2006 I recently purchased a rather well kept 1968 DeVille Convertible described as "all original except..." One of the exceptions was wire wheels in place of stock. Not that I need an original car, the wire wheels on the beast are not to my liking. A friend of a friend has a set of nicely polished "chrome spokes" from a late model Escalade (245/60R17 tires) that I can get for nothin' (plus the ideas of a:shorter sidewalls and b:"real Cadillac" rims, but kinda custom is a hoot). I will obviously need some adapters to handle lug count, lug spacing and backspace issues.... There are a couple websites advertizing custome built adapters that look like they have promise. And, I am tempted, but ... Has anyone done anything like this to a late sixties/early seventies land yacht? thx, Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
WarrenJ Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Congratulations on the Yacht! There is no means of avoiding the final collapse of a boom brought about by credit expansion. The alternative is only whether the crisis should come sooner as the result of a voluntary abandonment of further credit expansion, or later as a final and total catastrophe of the currency system involved. - Ludwig von Mises Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TDK Posted October 10, 2006 Report Share Posted October 10, 2006 Write to member Cardio-Doc. He has specialized in Caddy wheels, etc and I would guess he could help or at least point you in the right direction. Good luck! Add power to leave problems behind. Most braking is just - poor planning. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
