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

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

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.
