Joined the scratched rim club today

Well, I joined the scratched rim club today I had to head into the city, and as I was pulling into a parking space, I hit the curb, and my front passenger rim is no longer a virgin

I knew something had to happen eventually to my car, but it's always tough when you get the first scratch/dent etc. It's all down hill from here, I guess.

Maybe it's a sign that I should get rims/tires and start modding my car (I bought it intending to keep it stock). I've always been a fan of the oldschool Cragar SS, but they only make them in a 40mm offset (I think).

IMHO, I think Cragar's would be totally out of place on the CL-S. Now, if your talking 'bout a 60's Camaro, that's another issue alltogether.

you should take a look at SSR's, I think they would fit your style and still look great on your CL

Go w/ aftermarket rims. It's only a matter of time before another one of your rims loses it's cherry

Yep, I've looked at the SSR GT1's. I like the 5 double-spoke design. Some of the Mille Miglias aren't bad either

I like rims with a 5 spoke design, but the cragars are definitely a 60's muclecar thang. You guys really didn't think I'd put cragars on a CLS did you ??
