i'm not a fan at all of chrome, but they look okay if that's what you are into. They look like they belong on a SUV or benz not on a CL IMO. But everyone has there tastes, I know a bunch of people hate my rims.

They look kinda like Lowenharts. They will prob. look decent on a black CL, thats about it. I like the look of lowenharts on a black CL though, soe people hae them, like ghander. Def take pics when your installed...

BIG CHROME WHEELS are the SHIT! The only thing I don't really like are the rivots but their small. They do look like the lowenharts but those wheels are the shit.

I'm a big fan of black and chrome. I'm kinda skepticle on how they'd look on a CL. Make sure you post pics.

Here's what they look like on my buddy's van... http://www.pimplux.com/members/RandyOdyssey.htm

um...A23CL...last i checked this wasnt a post about whether or not my car was slammed. Jason asked us to post about his rims, so i did.

I would like to know why u dragged my car into this conversation...I said nothing negative to or about you..so where the fuck do you get off insulting my ride? you can say anything u want about what i think about those wheels...but when u start talking shit about my car, thats when i get defensive.

and for your information..a 2 inch drop is slammed...when i can barely fit 1 finger inbetween the wheel and fender well...i consider that slammed...

in the future, please keep your childish, immature remarks to yourself...because the last thing we need on this board is someone starting shit.

honestly I think they would look alright if you slam your car.... but they do look like a lowenhart knock off.. are they really chrome or is it a paint..... and how much are u paying... these are all what you need to take into consideration...

Like I said they would look alright... I've seen what they look like on second gens and they are fucking smooth..

One other thing... I would listen to Katie.. because their is 2 different reason's why you want these rims...

1. You want to be proud of your car.
2. You want to impress the ladies.. (You just got a girl to jock)

You know every time I buy something for my car I have a little saying... "It don't matter what he thinks and it really doesn't matter what that guy thinks either the real question is are girls gonna jock..."

Also depends on what type of girls you wanna impress. But if you're overly concerned, buy a bimmer.

The girlies seem to turn there heads alot at my Red CL. But once you get a Bimmer, herpes come along with it. I gotta agree with Rice on that one

not my taste, get choke rivets on that shit, im not a big fan of rivets, but whatever floats your boat

the good part is that i think a black car is the nicest color to have chrome on than any color
