Dammit. You took the essence my joke, Matt.

But I was going to mention something along the lines of a typical GM, leaking oil everywhere.

Well, they are cut. So yes. Perfectly okay for "your demographic".

^Werd!

One of my favorite quotes from Magnum Force:
[Harry is at the morgue with Briggs and Avery, examining the bodies of the vigilante cops' victims]
Lieutenant Neil Briggs: You're all heart, Callahan.
Harry Callahan: Look, am I gonna have to have him leaning over my shoulder?
Captain Avery: Look, you work with Briggs on this, Callahan. But if you ever lean out of line, so help me lord, I'll flop you lower than whale shit.
[To Captain Avery as Callahan looks over at Briggs]
Harry Callahan: Speaking of whale shit, what have you turned up, Briggs?


Callahan is the man!

For various reasons...had my rear wheel repaired and bought some new PSS for the rear. Balance, alignment with almost no camber out back and the Caddy is riding smooth as hell.

Looking good J noticed you went back with the stock wheels huh?

Walmart just had a massive sale on the PSS's and Cup2's in 295, 305, and 315...the GT350 guys were gobbling them up.

I did...
lightweight, 19's...looked more substantial, have the custom powdercoat I never got to enjoy...
the 20's were originally purchased to get me out of a pinch...now that I needed new rear tires I was looking forward to
going back to the OEM.

Gobbling them up, you say?

Meh, they looked fine. The finish wasn't as nice and they were heavier.
I wouldn't be surprised if I go aftermarket again down the line but for now, I'm very happy with how well the car rides and looks.

Love the look of the stock wheels man.

As you said, classy A F! With PSS to boot!

I was shocked when you got the 20's, only because at the time you had recently had the OEM's powder coated and barely got any use out of them.. Then again if I recall you got a great deal on the 20's.. They both look good to me, nice to have choices

The stock wheels look great on there. 19 is big enough. Lighter is always better.

Love the OEM wheels on the car. Like the fitment of the 20s better though. You just need the more aggressive spacers on the car again.

LOL...not comfortable running a bigger version 1 and you already know why I didn't like the version 2's on this car.
I like the bigger flush tire look a lot too...
Changing priorities, I guess.

Did you go with wider than stock rear tires?
