SEMA CL-S type Rims!

Good news for all you guys out there that liked the SEMA blue CL-S rims. Ace Alloy Wheels made a rim that is almost identical to those. Go to www.acealloywheel.com and click on new fwd and pick Manta. They have them in 17", 18", and 19"!!

I’ve seen those ACE wheels in person and they look really cheap.

I think I found the best “SEMA LIKE” wheels and they’re on my car.

Yea, but one can be found at your local dealer and the other is a PIPE DREAM.

Maybe…..I don’t know.

I saw them at ACTION TIRE in New Jersey when I was wheel shopping and they looked nice, but the spokes looked so thin and fragile.

I’m guessing you meant to say, “Wouldn’t”

Well, like I said in my later post, it’s not so much cheap.
I thought they looked “fragile” with the thin spokes.

Yes…..I do love those SEMA wheels, but the ones I got were the closest I could find that were available.

the body kit nazi's at acura say "no kit for you!!" Sorry man, that's a show car, you can't buy that crap. They apparently didn't sell enough CL's to be able to make money off a body kit for em.
There are a few 3rd party kits, but nothing near as tasteful as the SEMA CL's.

what is SEMA? sorry guys...i own an H ride right now but im lookin into a CLS soon so i need a little help gettin into the game

cant get used to all the acura lingo and what not
so no kit huh...
what about like lip spoilers and stuff
i heard that ACURA makes a pretty mean lookin spoiler kit for the CLs and TLs
is this true?
are there ANY afermarket aerodynamics mods available for the CLS?

just FYI i emailed the guys over at comptech and they told me that they had a supercharger already
but have yet to release it
so that makes me wanna get the CLS even more
but im still wondering if springs and rims are the only aftermarket mods i can do
i havnt seen many TASTEFUL kits for the CLS
i have seen some at JT AUTOBODY but they are GROSS!!!
i dunno
any help on this please...

i'm glad to hear that they are good quality. ... did you get the ones that are dark all over, or just the sides of the spokes?

my friend wants to get those on his car (civic ) they are some good looking rims/ just kinda questioned the quality for the price.

The sema wheels look like MOMO's.

And Shawn, your wheels look like those Zennetti Vega's I had that broke at the spokes! I hope you don't have any problems with them!

they are pretty good rims, sharp looking, and yes, they are sprayed at an angle so there is black on the sides and inside the rim, but the face is a sort of satin silver, I like them better than chrome. my only complaint is that they aren't in a high enough offset for loweroing springs, only 43 mm.
