Im not a big fan of colored rims.
But the old CL is pretty racy looking and I think is a good car to have colored rims on.
If your gonna do it... do gunmetal grey deifnately... black is ugly... gunmetal looks pretty good though.

I agree with soopa... gunmetal gray all the way. Black car, black tires, black rims, black tint.... ugh. You'll be in a rolling black hole.

What about the gold rims??? In particular a white/gold color... Looks silver, but with a hint of gold powdered on it.... Do they exist? I've seen gold rims on trucks, but they look butter colored (ugly)... and Can you strip the trimming around the doors and replace them with anything gold? Somebody cook up some color scenarios (i.e. all black/gold CL-S, all Red/gold CL-S, ect..) with Photoshop or sumpin' and post..

Agree with above, not black.. Gen metal might work.. No on gold also.. What is the size, offset and weight of the wheels?

Yah man.. exactly.....watcha think? I think white gold is even a little lighter on the gold even.. Check out a jewelry mag for white gold chains.. They almost look silver, but that hint of gold sprayed on it.. But that pic of this unit is close enough tho...
