$3500? Mine were $4400 and i got a spare rim (no tire) so i spent $5000 total.

But ya, $4400 is pretty generic...they are holding up great though and its been well over a year.

negative on that.....not last year anyway when i got them. Besides when you buy something local, you pay taxes - if you buy it on the net, i dont know if you pay taxes or not but PROBABLY since they are out of Cali.

i got the rim selection under control.......me and chicken do anyway so thanks but no thanks!

I'm going to be in the LA, Culver City, to Long Beach area from tomorrow to late Saturday night, I fly out on 1 AM on Sunday. I'm attending a wedding on Saturday, but I was wondering if I can get a chance to meet up with you and check the Lade out?

[sactownstang]

Meades rims look to be +13mm offset, those others looked like+30mm.

Gonna take a rim with a low offset to clear that caliper, Obviously someone want's deep dish rims huh?

+15mm or less...A 26" will look huge anyways.....

I think sactownstang worded that wrong, what he is trying to say is that some offsets are needed so that the rim is pushed out a few inches to clear the calipers, yet still has the deep dish. Then a mild widebody kit can properly be installed. http://www.stevemeadedesigns.com/board/public/style_emoticons/default/01nocomment8so.gif

wide body kit on a Caddy = teh gay no way man.

he just needs a rim with a different style. That style and angle of the spoke being so hard core, just doesnt work with these calipers. He even had to use a spacer while they were on the '08 Caddy since even those "little" baer brakes wouldnt clear.

no big deal, we will find something that will work and have a deep dish still. Mine work and its the deepest dish ive ever owned.
