for my 92 Caddy Eldorado

Its got 16's on there at the moe but fancy some 18's if it keeps the rolling circumference the same.

Or anything really I hate the ones that are on it. lol

Cheers

Craig.

Let's see some piccys !

That model is quite possibly the next car on my shopping list as an everydayer so a quick "drivers report" would be cool.

Hi Dean

I'll pop some up when I've had a chance to wash her etc, I only got her last week.

To Drive it's fantastic, if we ever meet up your more than welcome to a go

Its an early one with the 4.9 lump the best Ive had so far is 16mpg round town and thats taking it easy

Hoping to get out this weekend to a show so will be able to see what mpg is like on the open road.

Its got the active ride that firms up the faster you go which seems to work well on some of our rough devon roads

My 4.1L Eldo got 14 MPG - and that was taking it easy, too !

Be cool to see it . . . . the '92-shape Eldo's are, by far, my favourite Cadillac built within the last 30 years . . maybe more.

They've still got the unmistakably Caddy "finned" rear end but in the 2-door version look sleak from the side . . . even the front looks cool - although the rear end is my fav angle.

Sounds about right... I got a quote on some 17" and the shipping was $127.50 per wheel with USPS...
