    Default Thinking about some Escalade Wheels?

    What do you guys think?
    Those that don't know I have a 620 I am fixing up. I will update with some pictures soon. This isn't my truck and the centers wont be there with the logo.

    Here's a quick photo chop:

    i have seen eskies on tons of trucks, i am never sure what i think. i really dont like when peaple run the caps with the cadillac logo. a lot of hardbody guys do that. with smooth caps they are good looking wheels, but the crome is a bit much on an old truck. i think i like the polished ones the best personally. so i guess as always i like the cheapest ones that most peaple pass over. so you know about boring them out? i have titan wheels on my frontier, never threw them on the 620 but i have thought about it.

    you could run a small truck style cap that covers the hub and leaves the lugs exposed. the smooth center caps are at least $100. so man, i have been waiting to see this truck! post it up!

    They'll look great. I'd use the caps if you have them because they'll look cleaner. If someone gives you crap because it says Cadillac on them, they probably wouldn't like your truck in the first place.

    You could always run the old 5 star Z-71 wheels that are 16's and used to be crazy popular with mini truckers like these are now.

    Thanks for posting the link though cause I saw an old school civic wagon like mine with wood paneling. Inspiring.

    Rock em if you like them man. More of us will give you props for being confident in doing what you like than doing what we like. It's your car and that's all that really matters.

    Good luck with it

    It wouldn't look too bad, although most mini's around here ride w/those wheels it is all up to you.I'd suggest getting on ebay and buying the blank covers to replace the oem ones.

    I see them on too many crappy nissans and such around here. Get some aftermarket wheels.
