Does anyone else find it hilarious that they spent all that money on wheels but didnt fix their dead tail light?

And the Seville you see is actually a Cadillac Cien V12 concept car. I cant believe someone has the gall to post it on CarDomain lol.

Jesda - That car was posted under the seville name only because the guy who put it up has a seville on there and there is no cien category.

The guy with the caprice doesn't have a bulb monitor so until he gets pulled over or a nice pedestrian tells him, he wont know.

So Dennis you do work at T3. "Looks like a some of our customers" Some people just buy the Q's because they are cheap luxury right now. They probably buy it and if it breaks down just go buy another one. Early Q's are getting cheaper and cheaper.

Is that a custom hood?

When you look that cool, your car doesn't need to run .

Is there something wrong with not having an AC? Mine went out about a month ago. It will cost too much to fix. So, what do I do? I put the windows down, duh. Also, not having AC on the Q45 helps save what little gas mileage it gets.

Will 20s fit on an early Q45? If so, what is the largest rim that could be used and not have rubbing?

I'm thinking about getting some 18s or 19s. I personally don't like the big chrome rims. I little too much bling for me. I would go with an aluminum allow wheel, probably 5 spoke.

PMQ... 18 is about as big as you want to go, 17s are nearly as good but are much cheaper in the tire dept...

I would worry more about tire size than wheel size, but 20x9 would be a winner, but that doesn't seem to fit the fix-it-on-a-budget mentality I noticed in your other thread.

Until the car runs, and runs Strong! forget appearance mods. Now if only the 240sx fellows would listen...

Many fine examples of when "Bling Bling Goes Wrong"! I witnessed here in Tulsa a couple of Caprices and a Parisienne on Daytons with the numbers "22" taped to their rear windows. Nothing wrong with plus-size wheels but most of what little I saw in this CarDomain link was simply ridiculous (mainly the GM cars). They must want to be noticed pretty damn bad. These guys have to make really wide turns. Do they need step ladders to get in their cars? I'm not feeling the cartoonish give me a nose bleed 4X4 look at all. Well I guess they made the modifications to their cars according to what they think looks good. I as well as most of you just don't. So I can honestly appreciate their efforts. Different strokes. Makes me appreciate subtleness all the more.
