Hello, all. I just bought a white 2010 with running boards and my ears are hurting from grinning so much! . Am thinking about installing chrome oem 2001 Cadillac Catera wheels on it; they should be easy to clean and have that 'classic' look. Looking forward to diving into the knowledge base contained herein!

Many thanks to you all. It is an LS, so doesn't come with a lot of options, but is a big step up from the '97 Mazda truck (with power nothing) that I traded in. On the Catera wheels, I found they are not a bolt-on fit. They are offset a little more (3mm) than stock, so needed spacers for the front wheels. I chose 1/2" hub-centric adapters to eliminate possibility of vibration. I just think they are a great match for a classic nostalgic look. And at the prices they're going for on ebay nowadays, even after figuring in the price of the adapters they are a steal, IMO. I expect to get a little less gas mileage what with the increased unsprung weight, but that is the price of cool. Merry Christmas.

 

I like that 5 spoke look too, and used spacers and extended studs, but my wheels were 15mm different. I would mount one of those up and try it on before I ordered any spacers.

it's the visor that cost me mileage.

 

Nice Panel. Yeah, I did try them and a 1/4" spacer would have done it, but will appreciate the extra 1/4" separation from the caliper. I noticed that my new (non in-channel) ventshades cut a little mpg too. Price of cool. Maybe I'll recover that if I remove the front license plate frame (not required here in AR)
