Price range? Anything specific that you're looking for (brand, weight, etc.)? There's so many threads like this, we'll try to help you out but ultimately it's your opinion.

What I'd give again to be that age where all you have to do is worry about rims.....

whatever happened to those days. Didn't matter what was going on in the world because nothing was more important than getting a system and rims. enjoy it man.

South Jersey CL

a. get rid of the depo headlights.
b. i'd say maybe black rims with chrome lip, thats my opinion. those look good with a white CL. check out these sites for rim/tire combos:http://www.victoriatire.com/ and http://www.edgeracing.com

i have depo headlights love em especially at night

mitch14

search ebay plus any other forums for cars with the bolt pattern of 4x114.3
But IMO white wheels on a white car are one of the sickest combos

I miss those days too, I haven't been able to buy any toys in quite a while

tyzoo

thats what i was thinking 18" black rim with a chrome lip.. white rims will get dirty too quickly, and im kinda goin with the black theme allready. as to price range.... im not really trying to spend more than a G on rims and tires... and as to the system.. lets just say you will hear me from very very far... lol

Um maybe you should buy my rims? They would look f*ckin amazing on your car! (see link in my signature)

Nate's RS7 would look GREAT on a blackhoused/tinted/blacked out white CL.
From the pics it looks like you have dark tint, corner tint, taillight tint, and blacked out the chrome trim.
RS7s FTW!

ckrowland

RS7's would look sick on white, i have them on my car and look pretty sick on red

I think mesh style wheels with a polished lip look the best on just about every Acura. I'd love to have a set of Racing Hart C2's.

You should look for something gunmetal, black or maybe a dark bronze. That would probably look really good on white.

shogo2.3cl

im sure im a complete newb but what does all that mean?
offset 35 to 42/45??

shogo2.3cl

i got some c2's

mitch14

pic is pretty self explanatory, wheel face would be facing to the right

shogo2.3cl

oh i c grasseyass mitch thanks

mitch14

np, and i really like your c2's, they look great on cl's
great suggestion for a set of rims for the OP, or knock-offs of those as they are very popular

Blazin Si

You're a lucky sob.

You just need to do something about the 9 inches if wheel gap. Put some coils on that car and it would be the hotness.

DaInFaMMuS1

gotdamn i could fit my head in that wheelgap!

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

^ That is some massive wheel gap... Is the car on a jack or something? That's ridiculous! Nice wheels though.

and an easy way to explain offset is how far out the wheels stick out.

tyzoo

how do you think these wheels will look on the whip?

i'm not usually one for 5 spoke rims, but I like those a lot

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

I don't like how there is no lip at all

shnee

i miss my 3.0 97 wheels.....
i wish i was never forced to get rid of them

i say keep your stockies and just slam it

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

I'm sorry, but I have to disagree. Those stockers are atrocious.

tyzoo

how much would it cost to slam my girl lol ... i was thinkin since there is no lip they would probably get fucked up some how right

Gnate

iTrader: (10)

no. If you had a lip that would be more likely to get fucked up than your wheels if you were slammed.

You should buy the last set of ksports form excelerate.


$650 shipped. adjustable. and amazing price.

tyzoo

im sayin around the edge where the lip would be, wouldnt that be sticking out past the tire (on the ebay rims)

mitch14

lip, or no lip, you hit a curb it's gonna be the same, your gonna fuck up the look of the wheel, just in this case you'd probably fuck up the look of the spoke too.
fwiw i kinda like those rims, wish they had a lip tho, would make them look a lot better

^and i'm gonna have to disagree with you, those stockers are not bad, but if painted can look really sick. dunno the member who did it, but they had a white cl and they painted those stock wheels white, it looked like pure secks. If i had a white cl i'd probably do the same thing, and buy another set of rims too

tyzoo

the stock wheel looks alright but my wheels are looking pretty beat (the paint is chipped up), and i need to change my tires pretty soon anyway so.... has anyone put 19's on their car?

97BlackAckCL

iTrader: (6)

I like my stockies and as I said, I'm not big on 5 spokes

mitch14

^yes, someone has dropped a cl and put 20's on aswell, but he is no longer here. There is a member that has a cl with 19" axis mod7's, can't remember his name tho, something like "xadex" or some thing, no time to search for it right now

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

Wait, are we talking about the same wheels? I don't remember anyone painting the 3.0 '97s white... I absolutely HATE those wheels... I mean UGHHHHHHH!!! The paint peels off the caps, the spokes are so huge, the center is so huge, They are NASTYYYYY!!! Just thinking about those wheels make me want to pee on my tires!!! I can't stand them! I neeeeeeeeed new wheels soooo baddd.......

ckrowland

then quit buying other crap and save up for some rims lol

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

edit: oops! almost slipped up on the projects..

but yeah, the projectors and other stuff were totaly worth it.

mitch14

^that's why i'm saying i can't remember who did it, it was a long time ago, before i joined forsure. It was a guy who's daughter owned the cl( i think he bought it for her), and she hated it when he painted them. I thought it looked sick tho, and i've only seen the pic once, and in one thread, so i doubt i or you would be able to find it again but to each their own i guess
so what wheels are you looking at getting?

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

I had a guy PM me the other day asking what wheels I have because apperently he really liked them. Personaly I can't believe that some people actualy like these wheels but like you said, to each their own.

I'm was gonna get Nate's RS7s but I want to go back to what I really originaly wanted, black 18" 10-spoke wheels. Like Klepto's.
Here is a little list I got going on black 10-spokes:

G-Racing Seki (klepto's)
Riax Seca (omgitzchris and possibly 97blackackcl)
ADR SZ1 (a friend of mine on his 240sx)
Kyowa KR206 (found on google)
Enkei J10 (found at a rim & tire shop)

They all look basicly the same. Black 10-spoke wheels with a polished lip. The Enkei's spokes are kinda skinny though..
I LOVE black 10-spoke rims! I'll make a poll and decide on a set when I get some swagga this summer.

DoubleSh0t

iTrader: (1)

Fixed.

They're "ok" wheels. However, the polished lip pitted on me, even though it's not chrome (at least I didn't think it was) Looks like shit now. I have something else in mind though.

GhettoNinja06

iTrader: (1)

That's true, forgot to add you in the list. I'm leaning toward the Riax Secas or the G-Racing Sekis if I could find a set.

What do you mean the polished lip pitted on you?

Will you be getting rid of them around summer?
