    I think Hurst is making some sorta U.S royals.. those would rule... PM Cody see what hes got..

    sorta like these but not....If you can find these it would be bad ass. but it would be hard cause there rare.. but maybe ebay??

    otherwise a nice 2 inch bias ply woulds be tastee.... the Voges are a bit to pimp daddy... :D
     
  26. I really like your choice using those Caddy Caps! I was hoping you would go with them. They look BADASS!!! on the car Ian.

    Hey thanx so much guys!!! wasn't sure people would dig " THE AFFORDABLE " choice of wheels!!!:eek:

    As far as tires, i think vogues are nice on some cars, but not for my wife's Cadillac. Piero is right on the money as far as i'm concerned!!!

    THANX AGAIN!!!!! :)

    Dammit Ian!!! You "stole" my idea for my wheel setup...lol...

    I literally have the hubcaps and centercaps in the garage...except my car is about 2 years behind yours, and I want to run wide whites.

    great work man!

    EDIT: question is...are you gonna run discs or drums?
