Regis Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 First let me say how nice your caddy looks... very sharp. Now on to those rims. Well I don't personally care for them unless you're sporting a 2000 watt amp in the trunk and subwoofers to match. I think either chrome wire spoked or smooth flat looking rims in brushed aluminum would compliment its classiness. -kg "Burns" rubber " I've never considered myself to be all that conservative, but it seems the more liberal some people get the more conservative I become.

adallak Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yeah... the witewall's do make difference IMHO. Very nice Deville! I like older Caddies versus say, 2005 style. Look at 1976 Seville or 1979 Eldorado Biarritz, Are not they gorgeous? And they do look like real American cars, something I cannot say about 2005 STS .

MAC Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Didn't I see those in the movie Ben-Hur? The Caddy looks very nice though! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yenko Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 If it were me I would go for set of bigger wheels! What size are the ones you are lookin at! IMPORT CRUSHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cadillacdub Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 the wheels look pretty good on your car. i personally like the look of the knock off wheel as opposed to the bolt on but i like the wires on that body style Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopdeville Posted February 22, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 Thanks for your opinions on my idea. Yes, the old girl looks pretty good for her age but she spent a lot of time indoors during Canadian winters and thus the result... original paint (except the front end where the previous owner hit a deer and the front fenders and hood and such were replaced and re-sprayed "to match"... see the transition?). I really like the wire look knock-offs and I do not have a 2000 watt amp in the back...lol... I have the stock factory "Symphony Sound" stereo in it and it sounds very Cadillac... These are Photoshoped-in 15" wheels and my existing ones are my avatar... Oh what to do... I just don't want to ruin the look of a fine automobile in the interest of chrome spokes... hmmmm....

STYES Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 Nice car, but the wheels look like crap. Stick to a nice set of stock Caddy wheels, PLEASE! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Flyer Posted February 23, 2005 Report Share Posted February 23, 2005 very nice, and yes, whitewalls, also, lower that front end a little. It is sitting up higher than the rear. --Flyer '99 'Vert 'Vette 45k '97 SLS 55k Deceased: <'68 Mustang 200+k>, <'86 GMC S-10 180+k>, <'86 VW GTI 180+k>, <'86 Seville 195+k>, <'93 Seville 175+k> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
poopdeville Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 Hey there Flyer... I love YOUR wheels and your whitewalls!!!! I know she seems low in the butt however... she has the inflatable rear end. I am not too sure if it is working correctly ALL the time... much like many issues with this car, the compressor is intermittent (lol)... sometimes it works and sometimes it doesn't. I still love her even if her butt begins to sag a bit... It kinda happens when they get this old. Mike P Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What size wheels do you have on your car? They look large with the whitewalls! IMPORT CRUSHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yenko Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 That is what they appear to be but they look pretty big in the picture! I think it is because of the whitewalls! I was just curious to know if they were aftermarket knockoffs or somethin like that...... IMPORT CRUSHER Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
