I’ve always thought those rims looked great on our cars. Timeless, not flashy. Sharp looking car!

Great looking RMW. On the 18" wheels -- did they fit right on? What are the width, offset, backspace?

Hi. That is a fine-looking car. It's similar to my 94 except I don't have those gorgeous wheels. What brand are they, American Racing? Also, it looks like you have a tint? What percentage did you get?

See, you sign up here and already you have somebody badgering you with questions.

Yes American racing 18” wheels they fit right on. The tint on the back was what they called “limo” tint. It’s 60% up front though. No visibility problems at all. The wheels and tint really make it a totally different car. Thanks for the comments.

You probably shouldn't get a Fleetwood.

Ha! My neighbor that just passed away bought a brand new fleet wood and estate wagon in 94 when he retired. Both still sitting in his garage. I’d love the fleetwood for my collection but no room.

Formerly owned by "Big Wagon Guy" on this forum. It's a 1996 Fleetwood Brougham with the V4P package (3:43 rear gears, heavy duty everything). First owner was manager of GM Canada. Second owner was an RAF pilot from WW2. Big Wagon Guy was the 3rd owner, and then I adopted it.

It's flawless in every aspect. Not for sale. I've left instructions to be divided into 4 parts, and buried in this car, my 1996 Caprice Classic wagon, in my Volvo 240 wagon, and I'd like my skin to be stuffed and left in my office to see how long the paychecks keep coming.

LOL! I left instructions that I want to be buried in my wagon! It will take a pretty big backhoe though. Seriously, I told my sister that I want to be buried with my dog. That won't take a backhoe.

Herk, we can only do up to %35 here in the People's Republic of Maryland. They are pricks about everything. I'll probably do it anyway, it looks so good. Seriously, no vision problems at night? My buddy has a Maxima (eww..) and he has a very illegal tint and even put it on the windshield. I can't see much of anything out of that at night and even he admits it was a mistake.
