Re: My new toy
I've just put my new rims on... How long did it take and did you have any issues?

Re: My new toy
Must admit I didn't do it as I am totally useless and it was done between jobs in a garage so a couple of days but no problems reported. C`mon get the pics of the wheels up.

Thanks ansolioo.
Torque777, that is one fine looking caddy for 9k miles never mind 94k miles. Great choice of wheels, look sweet. You've got to lower it now and I`ve got to get new wheels still not sure what I want.

I love these wheels, they really suit the Caddy. What are they?
Mine is crying out for some new wheels but I think I need to wait until payday. I was personally thinking about some BBS CH wheels but I think they may be a little over done.

Re: My new toy
Hi Funbus
Looking really good, what lowering kit did you use, and how low is it?

Re: My new toy
Thanks Avalanche. Used the Bilstein kit from Darkside Developments. To be honest not sure what you mean by how low is it but my plan was to lose some of the wheel arch gap and improve the ride and the end result is way better than I expected. The guy that lowered it for me said to drive it and let it settle and then we can adjust it to suit . He said it would go lower if required but wouldn't think by much, sketchy answer I know, sorry

Re: My new toy
Fitted new wheels today. Rear drivers side rear tyre rubbing on arch liner on the inside on cornering. Going to try raising the back a hole tomorrow see if that sorts it. If not it looks like new tyres with a lower sidewall, 50 down to 45 should give me 10-11mm by my reckoning, should sort it ?
