gs430 Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 Thinking of these wheels for 08 cadillac escalade. Anyone have these wheels,any probs with them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kelleyperformance Posted November 19, 2007 Report Share Posted November 19, 2007 first off, when did you get an escalde lol? second, those are decent wheels in quality, fairly pricey but not too bad. IMO that wheel looks sick on the NBS lac's. it used to be the TIS homepage pic for awhile, dunno if it still is. gotta be 24s tho, NBS are too big bodied lol Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

gs430 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 Thank man,My wife picked the color,it had to be black int.So far I had it lowered,corsa sport exhaust,volant intake.We got the base model,did'nt get the over priced options like the nav,power side steps & those 3k 22"s.Save myself $7500.00 or so.I got a kenwood ddx8019 with nav,bluetooth,backup cam,video ipod & 9"screens for my kids.I had a jl/1000 & a 12w7 laying around had those installed with it.I think I'm about $1500 under the cost of the factory luxury package.So I looking for wheels I gonna wait till the holidays are over.

gs430 Posted November 20, 2007 Author Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 I paid $450 or so for mcgauhy's 2/3 spindles,shock extenders,rear coils.labor was another $300.With your tires rubbing try using a heat gun on the area it rubs.Once the plastic is soft use the end of a hammer to push in the wheel well.Now use some cold water to cool the area.This will keep the plastic in place so it does not rub.

Chevrolet SS Posted November 20, 2007 Report Share Posted November 20, 2007 (edited) I think it would look good... but i agree with the others 24's on a NNBS. 22's might be cool if you droped it pretty low..

SS Silv Posted November 21, 2007 Report Share Posted November 21, 2007 I think those wheels would look sweet. 26's, go big or go home. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Honestly i really don't think a big brake kit is necessary on this truck when your going with 24's i currently have 24's and i have never had problems with braking... the braking system on these trucks is great!! but hey thats just what think...
