Trying to determine which rims I want to go with. I'm heavily leaning towards rims like what I had on the '22. It was basically the below but mine were polished. I like the chrome better for the escalade

I think these would update the look of the Esky and would be a pretty nice look.

But then another part of me wants to keep it "vintage correct" and go with some CK375 reps which were highly sought after back in the day.

:hmm: I think I'm heavily leaning towards option 1 but figured I'd throw this up on the forum in case others may have some other ideas I hadn't thought of. :popcorn:

#2 was on my radar for a long time. But like you said they’re correct for the era of the truck. Sooo many newer options

Even the CA88 wheels might be a nice touch. True to Cadillac, only slightly newer. Disregard, I missed the chrome part.

I'm in the opposite club. I really like the wheels that are on it. Maybe do a 24 though. Mild drop. I really liked Tony's grey Escalade when it had the 24" factory replicas.
Well, what’s on it are definitely showing their age. I’d go 24’s but roads around here suck really badly. :(

I had nice rubber on my 24s. They were 295/40-24. They drove great a d i had no issues with them.

I now have 35s on my 24 and a 4" lift up front and 3.5 rear. Attached is the escalade with the 295/40-24
