My personal opinion is either of the Dronells for many reasons......I think they are BOTH forged rims.....they are both a 3 piece rim....and they both look HOTT! :P

I voted for RH Evo S7. They would look pimp on a CL-S!

I like the first Dronells or the Racing Hart M5s, but does anyone know how deep of a lip the M5s will have in the size that fits a CL? I doubt it's as deep as in the pics and may not look as nice. I saw some with a tiny lip and they don't look nearly as good. If that's how the ones for the CL are I wouldn't bother. To think I almost ordered those too.

Yeah....I think it looks REAL nice with that lip....but I just found out that Dronell's importer just went out of business, so it's impossible to get them unless you import from Japan yourself or find someone to do it. I am leaning towards the Racing Hart M-5 now, but I'm not sure how they would look on a CL-S....What do you guys think?

I'd go with the dronells, but you might want to make sure that the lip is polished and not anodized...
cause on anodized lip is not easy to take care of if you clean it wrong or if the rims get wet when they're hot; they could get stained..It'll look like someone nutted on your rims....

Actually, the lip is anodized.....I found that out not too long ago.

RH Evo Z5000
cuz they spokes flush with the lip....making the rims looking like 20's!!

this is the same reason the stock 01 rims look like 18's....and that my 18's that flush, look like 19's...
