CL-S with Mille Miglia MM11-2 rims

I didn't spend a lot of time on this but here is a photoshop'd picture (actually I used paintshop pro) of my San Marino Red CL-S with Mille Miglia MM11-2 rims. These are actually pictures of 17" versions of those rims that were on my last car. The 17s don't fit the CL-S but the 18s do. Anyway, somebody about month or so ago asked about these wheels and I thought I'd throw this together so you'd see how they look.

Please don't zoom in on this picture or you will see how crappy a job I did.

I agree they look too small in the picture. I didn't spend a lot of time to make them look like 18s in the wheel well. So, picture them slightly larger.

I just turned the brightness up a lot on my monitor to see how it would look for people that keep their monitor bright and DAMN!!! It looks horrible. Oh well. Turn the brightness down to get the intended result.

I'm not one for flashy wheels and these wheels look much better in person. As plain as they are, they still catch your eye. However, everyone is entitled to their own opinion. It would be boring if everyone liked the same thing.

OK people. No flames please. Here is what these rims looked like on my old car...



The Intrepid was a good car. I didn't have any problems with it in almost 3 years of ownership. Remember, I said no flames!

And here is a close-up of the wheel...



And here is what it looks like when you view the MM11-2 18" with the CL-S on www.tirerack.com ...



I don't know about you, but that doesn't look like San Marino Red to me.

Takeflight,

If you like em...go for it man!
before you change your mind hehe
I know I change my mind on fashionable things more often than I change my desktop wallpaper.

They're not flashy, but humble in my opinion. It would be a respectable look
for 18's that is..

Hahaha TireRack's version of San Marino Red, with those MM11-2 rims looks like a Grand Prix at first glance.

Now where's that puke smiley...

I have these wheels and I know they aren't the coolest, most striking wheels out there but they are simple, look good with the car, and way easy to clean . If someone can tell me how to post a picture, I'll put one up.
