Yeah im going to have to agree. Def. kind of Bling Bling. If you like it go for it but in order to have that wheel you need to get at least a 20s

I think those rims have some potential, but I would look here web page a see if there isn't a rim style that you like first.

It looks good on big luxury cars. Like Jaguar and Bentley Cromes look pretty good

I think you should do whatever YOU think looks good. It sounds kinda stupid, but it should not matter what other people think when it comes to subkective things like wheels, body kits, etc.

Right now I'm kinda torn on what wheels to get for the upcoming CL. The Cl (to me at least) is kinda of in the middle of luxury and sport car status, so part of me thinks that chrome wheels would look okay (which I am normally opposed to) and the other part of me thinks that I'd rather got the sportier look. I'm eyeballing the 3piece Axis SE7EN wheels right now if I go the sporty look.

God no, please no no no no....

I mean, if that's what you like, that's fine... but please please please tell me that isn't what you're really looking into...


MAYBE on a TL-S (better yet an RL), but not on a first gen CL... big ol chromey wheels like that do NOT belong on our car; we need something a lil more spokey; our car is little, we need wheels that accent it, not overpower it. Those wheels would look kinda silly on our car, I think.

My .02... :/

Chrome is still "in" on the east side i guess..
i think it gives a falshy and *dangerous* presence.

It might work with a silver car though. I couldn't get away with it but others may. Not everyone/car looks good with chrome!

I think the first gen CL's have a softer body line and something more subtle would work alot better. But this is DEFINITELY different.

CLs are luxurious in and of themselves.. buit sporty too... rthere is a balance of that sport luxury in the body... my whacked out thought is since the interior ids high end luxury and the body style is a sport luxury.. myt rims would put the edge on sporty exterior and a classy interior...

besides its a 2-door.. GO SPORTY.... multi-spoke in car color, silver alloy or gun metal... not chrome... IMO

I* just think chrome is yucky. But that's me; most people prolly think anthracite is yucky too.

Drew's Black car with those Gunmetal rims looked sweet. I want Chrome, but I'm not sure If I want to deal with the hassle of cleaning them and taking them off in the winter and stuff.

Drew, Sweet ride!
