Way too much! They were take offs in mint condition with TPMS. $1,500 + $200 shipping.

Those wheels look dead gorgeous on that car, but it does look a little squatty in the back... Also, to comment on your post from this summer, I vote spoiler.

That's not awful, considering what the tires cost, and what sensors cost. How much tread on the tires?

Wheels look super awesome!! I say replace the rear springs. It needs to be a little higher in the rear to make it look right. No to a spoiler. It looks very classy and has a nice lip with the trunk lid light.

I have the same kind of trunk lid and same spoiler question for my wife's Accord as well. It seems that every car similar to our car has a spoiler and I like the classy look over the sporty look. Love it as it is regarding the spoiler.

The front don't even look like they were ever on the road, the rears look they had one good burnout they still have more then 10/32 though.

Those tires alone are worth $1k. You came out pretty fair.

See, ironically, I think the spoiler makes it look more classy... gives it more of a formal shape in the back which every Caddy should have, IMO...

If I could get a spoiler that looked like the ATS spoiler (to the right of the CTS) then I would for sure!

I am thinking V brakes are next...

Nowhere near clean, but sitting a lot better with the factory springs in the rear!

I think the wheels look great, and I don't usually like 5-spokes on luxury cars.
Definately on the stock rear springs, the wheel arches are perfectly round and made the car look off and tired lowered.

The color....

1992 Chevrolet Lumina - metallic black cherry
1995 Buick Roadmaster Estate Limited - metallic black cherry/wood
1996 Buick LeSabre Custom - metallic dark cherry

Yeah, of course I like the color... if only they would make the caddys interior in red though

JMHO, the $1500 + $200 shipping was a really good deal, even if the were take-offs. down here, typically those tires and wheels are much more than that used, much less new. Very good looking car! have you decided on a spoiler yet? - BC

If I still get a spoiler it will be an E&G, but I don't think I'm going to get a spoiler anytime soon. It's about time for an upgrade. I think it's time for a pickup.
