Addicted2bass Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 The other day I saw a 4 door cutty with rims that looked like the ones on the 07 Escalades they looked like 18s. I also saw them on a Alero. Im assuming these rims must fit onto W-bodies without much trouble. I imagine these rims could be found cheap on ebay considering how many people put 24s and such on escalades then sell the stock rims. Im wondering if they would look good on my GP? Heres a pic for those who dont know what rims im refering to: Quote
Psych0matt Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I'd be willing to bet that they have quite a different bolt pattern. Quote
Cam'ron Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 if i remember correctly from an episode of unique whips the escalades are 6 bolt, so no it must just be a rim that looks like the escalades Quote
19Cutlass94 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 x2. Especially since its prolly going to be a 6-lug pattern if its 4wd Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 COulda been a 98-04 STS rim.. 17" IIRC.. I dont know if 18s were available: Maybe? Cause the Seville STS/SLS had the 115mm x 5 Bolt Pattern.. Quote
Addicted2bass Posted August 23, 2006 Author Report Posted August 23, 2006 They looked almost exactly like the Escalade rims, it had those thick spokes, not like those seville rims. Ill see if I can get a pic next time I see the car. They looked pretty good. It rare to see a W-body with rims around here. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Check the 06+ STS as well.. They have a few differentr choices as well Quote
94CutlassXtreme Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Yea the Escalade is definetely a 6 lug wheel. Quote
Mach 5 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Those wheels on that car would be gangsta. Quote
firefighter_0029 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 The older Eldo's had thicker spokes and the same bolt pattern. Quote
Nick1234 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 that STS looks SOOOOO HOTTTT. damn. towel. Quote
Dirty Rockstar Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Hey NIck, the STS is like SEX for me too.. I WANT one SOOO bad.. Quote
ToroToro Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 The rims in that STS picture are the 16s. 17s were only available 01-03. There was no 04 STS. Anyway, these are the 17s on mine, and the 17s on my brother's '01 DTS. Either of them look like the ones you saw? Quote
GnatGoSplat Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Escalade bolt pattern is 6x5.5 and the ones in the pic are the factory 22". I'm pretty sure those weren't them! Quote
jdcutty Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 I saw some rims the other day on an Equinox that would look good on a W. And they looked like they would fit too. Quote
Nick1234 Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 Yes the STS is awesome. Only thing that scares me about them is the northstar. Screw DOHC motors and their timing belts. Quote
ToroToro Posted August 23, 2006 Report Posted August 23, 2006 N* has a timing chain. They really aren't too bad to work on. I've done a starter ( under the intake manifold ), couple water pumps ( common problem ), as well as plugs and other regular things. I definitely wouldn't want to completely rebuild one though! That's why I'm gettting the extended warranty after I hit 50K on this one. Quote
