I personally like CEC Antera rims for SUV's. I have the 323's and the 301's right now on my LX's. I have seen the 23" 325 series on an LX and it looked great. Check Cardomain.com and search around if you want pics. The pics of my vehicle are in the gallery area. The CEC is a little more expensive than many other aftermarket rims, but the chrome finish is high-quality with tons of shine!

Luv,

Thanks for the info your ride looks hot. I am leaning towards the foose spank 5 on 20s. I am in NY alot of potholes have to put some think rubber on the street. I love to go larger 22 or even 23 but I am afraid that will be a big mistake in NY

The foose Spank are hot. 20's will look great on that ride and if you really wanted I think you could get away with some 22's. Just get a 305/45/22 pirelli scorpion tire on there and you will be straight. I have the 305/40's on mine and I get a decent amount of tire thickness. The ride quality does go down substantially. Either way you'll be happy.

ps- probably need some wheel protection for those NY Chrome Snatchers... My buddy has had 2 sets of rims stolen from him in broad daylight. Right off of his escalade.

You should have purchased an Escalade.

No Escalade for me.

Perhaps you should upgrade your 450?

Same here I do not like the escalade. There is nothing wrong with hooking up your ride
