Welcome to the family, there's tons of things I could suggest, but the best is just look through what people have done, and if you like it, ask them for tips.

AND A WARNING:

READ THE FAQ *NOW*
DON'T START THREADS WITHOUT SEARCHING FIRST.

Welcome man, hopefully you do your searching and reading before posting lots and lots of threads

I too have a CL-Pee but no worries, they were never race cars to begin with so no point in trying to make them into one imo. Its a nice car for what it is, hope you enjoy your stay here, there is a wealth of knowledge to be had on this site, a few village idiots, but a large amount of skilled and cool people who generally () know what they are talking about.

I think he's talking about passing up TSW's for those Enkeis, in which case, I agree. Facepalm.

Yet, everyone is into something a bit different.

I respectfully decline

fine if you guys like TSW so much...go with one of these two:
Trackstar 5


Asan 5

I just think these:
Montage


look similar to stock type-s rims, so why not just OEM type-s then? lol
