Default Cadillac Esclade wheels on Fbody?

Saw some wheels on sale. Usually these are on suvs but they look decent in the pic the seller has.

What do you think? Yay or Nay

Pics (on the seller's car)

Yes... IF all of my other wheels were bent with flat tires including the spare, I HAD to drive my car that day, I was less than $10 from affording another set, and they were free

Guys not everyone wants to go with 17 inch zo6 rims on their fbody. I don't like the profile of them that well but they are different and I don't think they look like wagon wheels. THey fill the wheel wells very well. If you don't put vette wheels on your car on here you are an outcast. lol

Lol.. That's funny but true. The worse part is that almost any rim you put on an body without lowering the car looks like crap. Z06 wheels when your car has a foot wheel well gap makes it looks silly..

Soooooo... if those are 6 lug wheels, how the hell are they mounted on that Camaro in the first post? Or maybe those are different wheels that look like Escalade wheels and the seller is trying to rip you off?

or he had the wheels drilled for a 5-4 3/4 bolt pattern. but while you may be right about everyone on here having the same wheels, that doesnt change the fact that those wheels look like **** on a fbody.

I don't have vette wheels on my car, and CCW and Fiskes are on a number of cars here. Some designs are better than others, and there are lots of options. It is definitely the Nay column for me. I don't like Cadillac Escapades either. I don't think it's like putting Ferrari wheels on a Civic, Cadillac makes some damned ugly vehicles.

Those aren't even Escalade wheels. They might be a set of aftermarkets. Look more like a set of SRX wheels. Regardless they look like crap
