Lug pattern should be 5X5 (5X127), offset should be low, not exactly sure how low though.

I sold the set of four 18 inch Enkei SST-2 wheels with custom hub rings and locking hardware for $800 to a good friend of mine.

The new wheels are a secret.. well kind of.. I will post pics once I put them on in late April

Weren't you getting some factory optional wires with correct whitewalls?

BIGMerle · #10 (**permalink**) 03-05-07, 07:07 AM

yea, i was looking at a set on e bay but they went for a crazy high amount....Its a shame they looked so smooth

Then find another set. IMO they'd stand out in a better way than any aftermarket dubs you'll find.

well....i would like to go wires but even thinking of maybe doing some 13-14 inch wires...but trying to see what is out there

BIGMerle · #13 (**permalink**) 03-06-07, 07:03 PM

no wheels for grabs?

BIGMerle · #14 (**permalink**) 03-08-07, 07:13 AM

Would love some orig wires if there is a set out there.....?

If you want original wire wheels, you're going to pay through the nose. Sets of original Cadillac wire wheels have been going for close to $2,000 on eBay.

Here's a set that's currently available - and they'll likely sell for an obscene amount. (Hope I'm not violating any use terms by posting the link!)
