Default Swapped stock 22's for stock 17's.

Well i finally said to hell with it and put my ad up on Craigslist for my 2007 Escalade wheels. Here is my ad.
2007 Escalade 22" wheels *sale or trade*

READ CAREFULLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!IF THIS AD IS STILL UP THE WHEELS ARE STILL FOR SALE!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Selling a full set of four stock OEM 2007 Cadillac Escalade 22" wheels with 285/45/22 Bridgestone Dueler tires, mileage is unknown since i bought them used, but i myself have only put about 15k miles in 3 years and they looked pretty new when i got them so i'm guesstimating about 25-30k miles (one tire has a plug in it and a mark from a tire changing machine, purely cosmetic does not affect the integrity of the tire both have been there for the three years i have owned them with no problems at all) . The rims are in awesome condition. Chrome is flawless, no chipping or flaking. Only one wheel has a tiny bit of curb rash on the lip (only noticeable if you are cleaning them). 22" x 9" with 6 x 5.75" bolt pattern. Tires have about 45%-50% tread left with no abnormal wear. Also included is a set of like new chrome FULL gorilla locks (not the ones with 20 regular lugs and four locks, these are ALL locks).
I am selling these outright for $1,400 w/locks.
Or trade me your stock 2002-2006 stock Cadillac Escalade set of CHROME 17's and $1,100 w/locks.
Or trade me your stock 2002-2006 stock Cadillac Escalade set of brushed aluminum 17's and $1,200 w/locks.
You can call or text me at 972dash814dash4550. If i don't answer leave a message. Texts gets a faster reply.
These wheels fit ALL 6 bolt GM SUVs and Trucks. Sierra, Yukon, denali, tahoe, suburban, silverado, Escalade, GMC, Chevrolet, Cadillac, 1500, 2500 and some Nissan and toyota trucks and suvs i think.
The ONLY way i will come down off the price any is if you have some FORGED wheels (17's prefferably but will consider 18's and 20's ONLY FORGED) for trade and the price depends on those wheels. So please do not waste your time or mine offering or asking for a lower price.
These are FACTORY GM wheels, so that means extremely high quality. Not like those flea market, traders village 22's and 24's everyone else has that peel after 6 months and take like a pound of weights to balance because they are warped.
Also these wheels look ALOT better on the regular shorter Escalade, i will try to find a picture to upload.
Anyways, funny story. I had two buyers lined up one wanted to trade plus cash (weird thing was he said he had chrome and silver 17's and silver 18's) and another wanted to buy straight up. So i looked up some stock 17's on ebay that were located here in dallas (some wholesale company) in case i sold them straight out. Well the guy who wanted to trade ended up being the wholesale guy i emailed from ebay! On top of that the guy is a member on a local racing forum i'm a member of and we have met before! Small world!
Awsome thing also was that he had lots of stock wheels for me to weigh!
Stock chrome 17" rim 24.5 lbs
Stock machined 17" rim 22 lbs
Stock chrome 17" with tire 60 lbs
Stock machined 17" with tire 56 lbs (extra difference due to tire tread)
My old stock 22's with tire were 89 lbs.
So i shaved off 116 lbs of weight. But i have read that reducing rotating weight is like removing 4 to 8 times what you actually remove so it's like I lost 464-928 lbs of dead weight.
