I'd like to see your aftermarket wheels. One wheel may look great on a certain car but look different on another, thats why I'd like to see what ya'll have.

They are 18 x 8.5 all around with +45 offset. I have 245 x45 front and 275 x 40 rear. If you search under rotors there is another picture of them. When I get home I'll post more.

1-I wonder if changing wheels can affect Cadillac Stability...the looks great, but what about the performance.....

2-beside I loved your wheels since it suits your car perfectly, good choice..

3-if changing wheels wont affect, which brand names are the best for American cars...because there are many cheap wheels in the market which are difficult to diagnose as original one or cheaper wheels quality...it would be apperciated if someone can highlight about the good quality to buy wheels that last long ...

I have found the handling to be better than the originals bcause of the larger contact patch of the wider tires. I'll find out a little more info at Road Atlanta when we get to do our parade laps before the ALMS race next month.

When I was looking for wheels I searched the web for info (positive and negative) about the specific brand I was interested in. I also have some friends in the business that guided my decision.

No ABS problems???? If that's the case, then I can run 274/40/18s on all four
corners. I already tried my corvette 275/35/18s on 18x9.5 wheels(53mm ofs)
onthe front and back of my 07XLR with no clearance problems!
