Attn: CL-S Rim owners - pics wanted

The local dealership has a set of CL-S rims for $1000CDN (just over $600US). I know a few guys here have 'em on their rides. I'd like to see pics! Can anyone hook a bruvah up?

Thanks!

Craig

the intake ran me $100 and the guy installed it for me for free.
its does not make the car too much louder unless you are giving it some gas. then you will hear a little roar until you hit about I think 4000rpm, at that point you will hear a louder roar. I like it, its not too load, but it does make its presence known.

Apex R is the store that sold me the short ram. Thats why you can not find one. Look on weapon R's web page, they have one there.

Wampum 2 things. The air filter when you say it makes its presence known is it loud when you have the music up or do you have to turn the music loud so you don't here it? I am really trying to avoid the loud thing this time around. Did it with my CL got use to it but it was a pain in the ass. Also the type S rims what size are your tires? I just bought some off ebay and the tires are 215/45 and I am wondering how the ride is going to be? Holla at me.

Well when I turn the music up I can't hear anything except the music. Might be cause the music is loud. On the other hand if you are not driving hard you will not even know you have an intake. Once you gun it and you rmp's get up, that is when you will start to hear the intake howl. It is a bit loud, but I don't remember how loud our cars are stock so I have nothing to compare it too.

I have stock Michelin's on my rims right now, 215/50/17. If you have 215/45/17 you are riding on a smaller tire. Probably a little rougher. I like the way my car rides majority of the time and I also have Eibach's Pro Kit on.(springs)

My next set of tires, which I will be buying soon hopefully, will be 225/45/17 or 235/45/17 but I am leaning towards the 225's. I will let everyone know how they feel when I get them.

Those rims look great!

I'm wondering if anyone has switched from 4 to 5 lugs in a 2.5?.. How hard or how much $$ would it cost if I did the work myself. I'd love to put a set up the CL S rims on

Thanks..

Can't remember who but some people have put 235 on their rides, so I don't see a problem. Discount Tire is usually pretty cool so I am sure that if they rub I can swap them out for 225's.
