Check Out The New 22"s for the DeVille..

[JoeSmith502 10+ year member]

First off, thanks for all the comments, positive and negative. A lot of hard work has went into getting this car looking the way it does and I am always open for ideas and criticism. I pulled a few quotes out and would like to answer some of them.

Martin Bros make some sick looking wheels! sharktooths are my second favorite, looks good.

Yeah, Martin Brothers make some really nice rims IMO. The chrome really seems to stand out and their designs are some of the best looking around. I would recommend them to just about anyone.

i would of jack that car up more and put some 24's on.

22"s was the biggest I could fit without actually buying a complete kit and getting the suspension totaly redone. All I had to do was add some spacers to the springs to get it raised a couple of inches. Only cost me $60 to raise her up to fit the 22"s. I would have liked to put 26"s on it but the cost would have been outrageous.

Holy shit how big is that lip?

I haven't had a chance to measure yet but it is really deep. That was my favorite part about these rims, that and the shark teeth that stick out of each spoke.

Should've went old school and put some spokes on that mofo. Looks good though

To each his own. I have always thought that spokes look really cheap for some reason. Blades are the only way to go unless you are doing an oldschool owrider but again, thats just my opinion.

Seems like its missing something. I like it though.

I actually agree. I am going to paint the calipers and stuff and I am hoping that helps but if you can think of anything else that would look good, let me know.

Haha you put 22"s on a 91 Cadillac. If you were going to rock the old cadillac, should have gone even older.

I really like this body style of the DeVilles. They have very nice interiors, ride great and will run forever. They also have plenty of trunk space for the 4 12" RE XXX and the Digital Designs Z1A that will be going in this weekend. The 90, 91 and 92 Deville are pretty popular from where I'm from.

um..why? i have a 77 and a 93.. the 2 are not even comparable. the 93 is more spacious, more powerful, more comfortable. oh i suppose this style doesnt have the "street cred", huh? owell?

X2 on what this guy said.

It looks like utter shit. I can't wait until you hit a pot hole and bend those wheels.

Man, don't you just love a hater. Its people like you that make this whole thing just that more fun. I hope you hit a pot hole while your boyfriend is giving you head and you bend your cack and balls. I have had many different sets of 22"s and I have yet to bend one or blow a tire. You just have to be a little more careful when you drive with them.

looks dumb really. IMO What a waste of money.

Hey, I could have bought crack..

Thanks again everyone!

Jesus that is a terrible design. I'm surprised the lug holes don't get torn out.

i think they are meh. they look decent, but not my style for the car. i'm sure if you drop the car 2" it'll give it a better look.

no it won't. some cars look better lifted.

No, they dont.

The wheels look great but in my opinion they seem like they don't belong on a Cadillac. I see them fitting the look of a truck more. Again this is just an opinion the wheels look good I like the design.

I just can't stand when people do this to these cars. Why spend that money trying to trick out an old person's car(my grandma actually drove one of those)? You'd be better off putting that money towards getting a nice classic.

 

[ultimate157 5,000+ posts]

No, they dont.

The only car that looks nice lifted comes that way from the factory: The subaru outback sedan 3.0R.

Only trucks/suvs should be lifted.

 

[JoeSmith502 10+ year member]

Its not lifted that high. It actually looks good the way it sits. I've had nothing but compliments on it all day so everyone who sees it in person likes it. I like it too so thats all that really matters.

 

[Hintzyboy 5,000+ posts]

All depends on your taste I guess. That is just way too gaudy for me. And I can't get over the fact that it's a car for geriatrics. I'd take a bone stock classic over that any day

No, they dont.

yes they do. some of us don't like riding on the floor. if i had the money i would do a 3" lift on my Caddy.

Not trying to rain on your parade, but you dont really think that everyone who sees it in person really likes it do you? Or even that everyone is being completely honest with their opinions in person? If you like them, great. But if you try to convince yourself everyone likes them, you are only kidding yourself man. You know its true.
