I tried Detroit Wheels and they were out of stock, as were about 25 other wheel dealers. I ended up getting the nice looking chrome wheels that Bigg Daddy Caddy sells.

Thank you. I will try to stay alert to scams.

Chrome wheel for a 2007 XLR V wanted 19X8.5

Mickeytee, I found some Corvette rims. One is 18X8.5 and the other is 19X10. Do you know or does anyone know which one would be the best option? Also, what tire size would be best for the rim selected. My current rims are 19X8.5 and the tire I use is 255/40R.

I originally looked for a space saver spare, but couldn't find any one that knew of one that would fit. The Cadillac dealer said they did not make one for the XLR.

Thank you. This is the kind of information I need. Originally I thought I needed a 19" XLR-V set up, but the respondents on this site let me know that there are other solutions. I think an 18" C6 Corvette rim with the 235/50/18 tire that you suggest should work. I am thanking all you XLRers for...

I did not receive any words with your message, just something about a private e-mail.

My rear tires are 255/40R 19. I live near Olympia, Washington. Thank you.

I have gotten some informative replies and sites to go to. I do not know much about offsets and hubs or how to use the charts suggested. I am not really lazy, but I am in my mid 70's and not very hub, wheel, offset or tire size savvy and wouldn't understand those things even if they were...

Thank you for the Corvette suggestion. I plan on storing the wheel in my garage for my wife or son to bring to me in case of a flat tire. I will get an inflator and plug kit, but I will still pursue a spare set up. A puncture on the side wall probably would not take a repair. I am going to get...

I don't know about 18" and 19" compatibility either. The local Cadillac dealer either did not know of or did not want to look up other cadillac possibilities. I did ask them if there were other rims that would work and they said they did not know. Thank you for the reply.

I would like to have a spare tire in my garage for my 2007 xlr v. Preferably a 19" silver rim, but an 18" rim will do if it is compatible ( does anyone know if the 18" rim will work? ). This is my first time using this forum. I purchased the car in early August not knowing that it did not have...
