| Option 1 are DTS wheels, the chrome fanblade type... Option 2 are DTS wheels, but these are just machined later model wheels Both are 17's... 16"/17" = 94% so 17" are 106% larger roughly (in the chop you just increase the wheel size 106%) I think I prefer 17's to 18's to keep the sidewall height correct and the ride quality nice and cushy... just the way I like it. I'm also going to tint the windows soon too. (shown in the chops) What do you guys think? | |

| I like option 1. Opt 2 looks like it's still stock. | |

| Well I went to the Cadillac dealer this weekend and got a real close up view of Option 2's..... They are okay, but they don't have a lip. The spokes just come out to the edge... I like a lip on my rims...
I'm still debating. It's not until '08 before I do anything so I can afford to be picky..
Can't wait to get them though! | |

| Try looking on your local craigslist. You will find sweet deals for better rims. Cause to be honest, neither looks .. GREAT.. | |

Cause to be honest, neither looks .. GREAT.. i AGREE!!!! a RIVIERA is a in a whole different class than a caddy, And if they bother werent GM, it would be like putting a chevy 350 in a mustang. And i hate rims that dont have a lip also. Im sure you can find something more classy than some stock caddy rims for a decnt price.......You should check out the new CHEVY SS rims or the 3.9L monte carlo/impala aluminum rims, Theyre pretty light and they should bolt right up. Other wise, there are some sweet 18" rims that they have. | |

| You could always try going to a site like customwheels.com and look at your car with different wheels on it. You can even spin them. That's how I found mine, whether you like chrome or alloy look... | |

| I already have my own opinion on these but I'm curious as to what you all think. My bosses friend has got a set of 4 of these wheels w/ tires that he will sell to me for $350 these aren't his but they are exactly what the rims are... Link 19x8 with tires on it that pretty much match the overall width and diameter of mine. | |

| I love em, thats exactly the ones i want for my car but they were from a different brand and the wheels were accually called "RIVIERA" They were a light gunmetal. I say buy em, I dont know if they will bolt up but you can always get an adapter | |

agreed. I dont know if they will fit the rim, but they are cool looking. I wanted them for my rx7 2nd gen when I had it. They fit those well. 19's should fill it in good though. | |

| He'll need to drop the car to or it'll ride higher with the same gap.
I agree that it is a Japanese GT style rim. Would look good on RX7's, 300GT's, Supras. | |

I know it fits for sure. | |
