Buying fake C5s....
anyone have pictures of real or fake C5s? 17". I'm picking them up for $150. They're clean. Just not sure how C5s would look on a Black CL. If anything, maybe i'll paint them a different color. So just curious on ppls opinions... so just give me ur 2 cents people! TIA!

ehh, i don't like that thin spoke look, like the thicker clean 5 spoke look, just my preference
Divinecl-Ehh, I've been around, just got my clarion dxz855mp cd player installed, its workin great, looks fantastic. Before i work anymore on the system tho, I'm going to have my car looked at and fixed up, jsut needs some maintanence and tlc, then once everything is mechanically sound, gunna start workin on the system again. Next is RE re 6.5" comps and soundstream vga 400.2. After that, hoping to get a custom trunk installation and get my 1 or possibly 2 eclipse titanium 12" subs and amp to power those babies, should be a fun summer. I'll keep everyone posted.

haha, After I get my system worked out, I wanted to grab some rims and 17's and keep my stokc rims for snow tires, these would be a great alternative tothe expensive rim and still have almost exactly the same look.

Sounds like you know what you're doing.
Post pics when you have the chance. I want to see what your
set-up looks like. Good job girl...
I'm getting HID's and my front lip and THEN I'll be getting 2 12's and an amp.
For now I have my pioneer headunit and stock Boss speakers.
