cadillac_caddy_sts Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Those are some awsome wheels! I think they would look great on a 98 STS! 18 is a good size for rims on these cars! I would get 20's if I had the money but I don't so I someday planning on having a cadillac with nice 18's! The new 05 STS wheels are awsome finally Cadillac put some bigger wheels on the cars! I like the styling of cadillac rims but if its s big car it need big rims! Thats what I think and the 98 wheels themselves don't look to bad they are just small! But I like those wheels that your thinking of they are nice! Good luck! Defending Northstar perf a qtr mile at a time!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have seen an STS with 22's and after seeing it in person I know what it looks like and it looks awsome but the price is to much! He just has his 22's on for two months of the year and has his stock wheels on for the rest of the year! Seems like alot of money to pay for having wheels sit in your garage for 10 months and put them on the car for only 2!!!! Those wheels are very nice I would get those before any 20 inch rims!

yenko Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Yeah, I wouldn't put anything bigger than 18 if it would effect the ride! I think 22 would be way to big! Would you have to do any modifications to make them fit? If it were me I would go with a set of 17 or 18 inch wheels! Oh, and those wheels would look geat on your Cadillac!

STS Scott Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 Hmmmm, IMO, maybe a little to "gaudy". That is just my taste though, as I think those custom luxury wheels are a little over the top. I think BMW has it together in terms of wheels: deep dish, lots of depth and "visual strength" to the spokes. Just my two cents, take it with a grain of salt!

Guarcz03 Posted February 20, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 heres a picture of 98 seville with 22's , i think there are nasty and have no place on a caddy caddy on 22's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joeb Posted February 20, 2005 Report Share Posted February 20, 2005 BMW cars are rear wheel drive so the wheel offset is usually much different than a FWD car. I like the deep dish look but most FWD car wheels have the same hub/wheel spacing issues to deal with. I would vote for 45/50 series tires and use whatever wheel diameter is required.

cardio-doc Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 No those wheels aren't right at all! Heres some nice 20's though! I'm not so sure about them though they are very nice though! cadillac_caddy_sts: I'm usually not a fan of aftermarket wheels - but those 20's do look good. Personally I'd never put anything larger than 19's on a car, probably more like 18's. Mainly due to unsprung weight, driveability, and performance issues. cheers, ~Doc --- Direct Performance on Ebay CaddyInfo.com Cadillac Conversations Blog Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gygmy Posted February 22, 2005 Report Share Posted February 22, 2005 The wheels you are considering look sharp. Still spokes but with a bit of flair. Stick with 18s. Anything bigger throws off the proportions of a real good car style/design. If you put on wheels larger that 20s would'nt you also have to up-grade your breaks/rotors? More $$$.
