I just spent a lot of money on sp9000's for my 17 inch wheels but i'm getting the mod bug so i'm considering getting some nicer 17's

wondering just how good a cl can look on 17's or should i not bother and just wait a while and get 18's?

 

You gotta get at least 18's, i think 17's just look too small.

 

i agree... at least 18... i wish i would have gone 19...

 

Get the 18s, you won't be sorry.

 

derelict's CL-S on 17" SSR Comps...

 

^ that looks nice for 17's.


i usually prefer the stocks in that size. the '01, '02 wheels.

 

If you're going 17's, stick with STOCK. imo

 

^^ wht he said...

 

scooter's looks pretty good w/ his SSR 17's. He has the GT1's thought and they look good!!

 

Depends... some city streets are so awful (DC and Baltimore for me) that making the jump to 18s is a little scary. 19s is totally out of the question.

When I buy wheels they will be 18s for sure, but for a long time I was considering 17s becuase I'm afraid of bending one.

 

personally i think the 03 oem 17s are the nicest. i would not put aftermarket 17s on a 2nd gen cl the body is too big. if you had a 1st gen thats a diff story.

there was a bunch of oem 18 tl rims on ebay a coulple weeks ago

 

How wide are the 03 factory wheels... 6.5" or 7"??

 

7"

 

I have 17" SSR Comps. I choose 17 cause I didn't want a worse ride, & tires are cheaper in 17 then 18. I had 18's at one time, & had 18's on my other cars. I got tired of it.

 

Maybe we should change this to "The Best Looking CL on SSR Comps" thread.

 

^^ haha yea nice rims guys, looks and good performance, how much do they weigh? 14-16lbs

 

I dont think that 17's on the CL is bad, some people have there reasons to get 17's!!! I got 18's, and living in NYC is not a good place to have 18's w/ low profile tires!! But when the time comes to get rid of the 18's, I think I will be sticking with the 17's!! by the way, the rides look GOOD!

 

I think they're about 14.5. Close to 10 lbs lighter than stock per wheel.

 

Im sticking with 17s from now on bc i keep bending my 18s on the shitty roads in nj, also conseidering there not forged but if i bent a forged rim i think id flip out

 

hmm..17s look kidna small..but thats just me..
