Wow Allan sweet paint!!
You told me that bling stuff was nice and you weren't wrong!
Personally I don't like those wheels but that's just me. I think some huge rims with lots of spokes or stock ones would look better. IMO

Thank's clutch,doorslammerfan,the colour is better in the flesh will be getting other colour's to put on my build's form now on '70 ELDORADO CADILLAC - Page 2 Icon_twisted .wheels are from monograms 37 roadster with trailer,there is not much room to fit bigger wheels,if I found anything they would have to be very skinny one's,the wheel's look like mag's the stock one's would be 3 inche wide one's.looked at centre line one's too.

I dunno Allan those just dont seem to fit the KILLER paint, but that may be just me, I dunno what I would go with becouse I dont hav much of a choice, if I had a choice between the first set and these, I would go with the first set, just my 2 cents

The first set is more "Cadillac" to me - the last ones are maybe too plain? How about chrome wire wheels???
