Editor's Advice:
So many Cadillac Escalade owners have replaced the boring brushed aluminum wheels from the factory with phat twenty-inch dubs that these luxury SUVs just look silly doddering along on the stock seventeens. Fuel economy is terrible, build quality sometimes haphazard, and forget about doing any serious off-roading. If you can live with these detriments to ownership, the 2004 Cadillac Escalade is an excellent choice. Just be sure to dump those standard wheels for something with a little extra bling.
