They'll be alright but no where near the Trailblazer SS or Jeep Cherokee SRT8 or Porsche Cayenne Turbo or Turbo S.Probably around the performance of your Cayenne but yours would handle better.

i dont know why but it kinda makes me mad that he put those ugly *** rims on such a beautiful 07 escalade. my opinion the stock wheels look so much better than those by far! arent the stock ones 22's also?? or 20??

the 6.2L is good for 403hp/417tq, and it's 0 to 60 times are under 7 seconds... the transmission is sick: it's a 6-speed automatic, but with the Driver Shift Control mode, you can manually shift via + and - buttons on the transmission selector... gonna be a beast to drive... i can't wait to get it supercharged

i wasn't a big fan at first... they've grown on me though... i've decided that when i'm gonna get either an EXT or an ESV... they look so much better than the regular Escalades for '07...

check 'em out here...

48.8 cubic feet of airspace in the back of the ESV... that's just about perfect for 6 S15L7s

i'll be putting the 24" KMC Cousteaus off of my '03 on there for starters... i haven't been rim shopping in forever, so i'm sure there are some new rims out that would look sick... but i'm not going with anything smaller than 26"s... Jesse James has some badass wheels out... and Lexani has some sick **** as always... ahh choices, choices...

current rims: (if you look closely, you can see my Civic hiding in the background behind the 'Gator lol)

Lexani's new 30" rim...

Wouldn't low-profile rims interfere with ride quality in the end?

Just a rhetorical question, really, but it sure as hell looks nice!

What does being black have anything to do with that? Not a good comment, yo.

I think he is referencing the stereotype that all black people think they are rap stars and consequently have horrible taste. Unfortunatly, some people do fit the stereotype which really is annoying.
