Clac225, do you say that because you are to slow for the track?



Limmerz those wheels do look nice, especially on a black CL. I have 17's on my CL and I don't regret getting them for a second. If your car does not have enough power to be pusing a bigger wheel it will only be slowing you down.

lol, probaly, I raced at the track once and ran a 15.9, i should go back and a 15.5, just to prove that I can beat 3.0s

i dont know I just love street racing. There is nothing more fun than going out on a friday night at midnight to the local hang-out, which in my area consist of 300+ cars, and gathering around and watching people race, flying past you at 100mph when they are so close their car might run over your foot, running from the cops, just the whole atmosphere is unexplainable

btw, with my 18's, lost little power if any, just get 35s

So far the best price I got going is a $1200 shipped for 17's with tires. But that's for the silver wheels. I'm really looking for the hyper black ones that are on my pic....hopefully I can find those soon!
