Sweet Sleeper, lol

Okay, I just purchased a 1995 Cadillac El Dorado. It's black with tan leather interior and has all the goodies. The V8 in it is rather potent...a lot more potent than I expected. The engine bay is absolutely huge and I really like the exhaust note. Hmm. Well, what else. I found some nice rims that would go with the car...I didn't think I'd find anything that would look good with it, but they look really great...and with some wide, low profile tires, it would look really cool. It should still retain a very clean look and not look ricey. I am really aiming to make it into a sleeper, so I don't want anything that'll make it really stick out. My father is going all out and wanting to take out my current engine and drop a huge, built crate engine into it, lol...but I'm going to put a lot more miles on the current V8 before dropping a new motor in. I also can't believe how freaking fast it is...or did I already mention that? Sheesh...for a larger car, it sure has some awesome acceleration. I don't know what to think, lol...I sure like my Civic, but man...I sure like the Caddy. Sell Civic for money for modifications? lol. I'm sure you guys don't want to hear that...but what do you all think? Yes, I'm inviting some flames, because I know a lot of you are ever-faithful to your Civics, but to those of you who are also interested in other kinds of cars...whatcha think? Just wanting some feedback. Am I crazy? lol [IMG]i/expressions/laugh2.gif[/IMG]

LOL. Good Lord...that kid was way off track. Nah, like I said, just going to leave the body stock and put some different rims and tires on it. It was REALLY hard finding rims that looked right, but I found some that look pretty nice with the car. I also made sure I got some input from other people before going with final decision on the rims. But a wing? And that hood? And what's with the scuff marks? That was just nasty.

Chrome... nothing else!

What's the size of that engine? It must be huge. I think my mom's 94 Caddy Sedan Deville is a 5.6 liter V8. I wanna put some hella nicer rims on her car.

And a Caddy as a sleeper... I say go for it.

Haven't purchased them yet...not really informed on wheels...are dubs different than rims? I just checked out photos and can't see a difference.

Ahhhhhhhhh, now I know. Well, just as long as the whole wheel and tire is visible...I've never really been a big fan of having wheels that disappeared into the wheel well because they were too big. But, I will definitely fill the space up [IMG]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/IMG]

According to the little manual thingy I'm looking at..my engine is 300 cubic inches...and 4.9 litres. And it says the 94's had same engine. Mine is just 1 year newer. Even then...a 300 cubic inch V8 is nothing to mock, hehe. Not to mention, there is a ton of room in that engine bay for a much larger engine in the future.

Yes, I know it is about a guy's Camaro SS, but he has some great videos, and my friend found it (he has a 91 Firebird with a swapped 406 ci engine that is modded to heck, and a 150 Shot)... he stumbled upon it one day searching for info.

Man you seriously have to get big rims on there. 20 inch and nothing less. I think they'll fit.
