Please help my girlfriend decide.

She needs new tires on her red 2001 cl-s. After seeing the prices on tires, she wants to get new rims and tires for the extra few hundred bucks. She wants 17 inch black rims costing no more than about 7-8 hundred. I wanted to get her black slipstreams but they dont come in 17 inch. The exel race are also awesome but they only come in 4 lugs. Please help! Thanks.

Yea, thats what i've been telling her. 19s are perfect for the 2nd gen. However, you know how most girls are. They dont wanna spend money on a car. Anyways, if the rims are black, it wont seem so small i've noticed.

Yea, I saw that. Thanks man. But she likes the 5 or 6 spoke style. I'm thinking of maybe the rota subzeros. Anyone know a cheap package price for rotas?

volk's for a grand?? where did you find these at i'd like to know?? thanks.

i don't think bronze would look good on red, but black or GM would look sweet! I've always liked the look of fastvtecl's red cl on black wheels. I think he just powdercoated the stock wheels though, not sure.

freal, grams for a grand is pretty good. maybe those are like 15 or 16 inch rims. yea, fastvtecl powdercoated his stock 99 rims black. looks really good.
