Love the look. but personally i'd drop down to 24 or even 22's with a lil more rubber. Hit a hole with a flat you don't know you have and your gonna be pissed.

I got a nail in one of mine the other day and luckily the 45 series was enough rubber to get me to a tire shop a couple miles away.
I didn't have my socket to change the tire and the stupid chrome valve cap seized onto the stem.
Got seize lock put on right away.

yes but I'm not a big fan of black wheels. I think they look good on some vehicles but just not my style. Nothing like a nice set of chrome wheels IMO

Wow, that's one of the cleanest looking Escalades I've ever seen. It looks so much cleaner without all that chrome trim crap. It does look more like a Tahoe now but that's a good thing, IMO. I never liked all the chrome crap that is tacked onto Escalades. Anyone who thinks more chrome means more luxury is a fool.

im not sure about looking like a hoe... maybe a little, but im curious, why would you murder it out and leave the wheels chrome?

it would look sick as heel if you powder coated the wheels to match....... IMHO...

love the stance too...
