Title: 15 Inch Mag wheels Found for 79 Cadillac Eldorado Biarritz
Post by: nanaimogene on October 21, 2017, 01:07:28 AM
I was asking members last month where I could find alloy mag wheels 15" for my 79 Eldorado. Did not want 16-20" not my style. Since Eldorado was FWD super hard to find in 15".  Got lucky..found a used set 70 miles away for FWD Caddy. Seller had hard time selling them since they only fit fwd Caddy's. He did know what year they fit.
Got lucky again perfect fit. They are American Racing mags. I mounted slightly larger tires 215/75 R15. Yes I left the WW for vintage look. Nothing wrong with factory
turbine mag wheels. I wanted the sporty look plus painted red the calipers. I noticed a big difference, with those larger tires and mags a very smooth ride. American Racing web site show a newer style 15" mags for 79-85  FWD Eldorado $460 U.S. for 4. Below pix's before and after as I move the car into 2017 age retaining the Vintage body. Gene
