Greetings from middle TN

Hello guys and gals and all those mixed up in-betweens! I bought my first XLR yesterday ('04 with 69K) and plan on picking it up in the morning. Car has some issues I'll be ironing out over the next month or so, but I went into it eyes wide open. Anyway, quick question about these wheels. Seller is telling me the wheels on the car are a special OEM offer based on a Mattel model? Not saying I don't believe him, but these are my cup of tea buy I hate to swap them if they are actually OEM. Oh, and I don't know what to think about the add-on interior wood accents. Well, at least all the leds' in the tail lights seem to work. Thanks

Welcome and congrats!

Welcome and congrats!

So Rob, do those wheels look like a stock option to you?

They were not a stock option and I'm not aware of any Mattel model. There was no Mattel model from the Bowling Green Assembly Plant that was a regular production option.

Thanks. The seller told me that Mattel had a model of the XLR with 5 spoke wheels, and as a result Cadillac started offering similar wheels as an option. I thought it sounded a little farfetched. Here's the model though as I wanted to be a little more clear.

Welcome! It looks like someone did a lot of customization. Everyone has their own taste in cars. The woodgrain accents are a little overdone and the wheels are definitely not stock. If you like the way it's done, enjoy it like it is, or change it to suit yourself. Either way, I hope you have fun with it.

Not an option at all.I ran away from your car based on a couple of things he states that was not true. A title would be a BIG issue with me. Some of the wood grain would be ok but it is a lot enjoy it.

Finally got her cleaned up a bit so now it's time to start fixing all the issues. At the present I'm very grateful to Mickeytee for passing on the car.
