I have 19's on my car now, and i'm lowering my car on Comptech springs this upcoming tuesday. I think it will turn out fine. I will post pictures ASAP. If you have any questions, feel free to drop an email.

Got a link to the Axis Rims? Without seeing the Axis rims, I'd say go with the BR5s. Those are f**kin' sweet. If wheeloptions.com tells me I there is NO WAY I can fit Dronell M10 19x8.5s +33 offset on the CLS, then I'll get the BR5s. Someone told me wheeloptions.com may be able to custom make it or provide a possible solution, but I haven't heard from them yet.

I like the Axis Se7ens myself... here's a pic of them on a ABP TL-S. It's not mine, but at least I know what it would look like on mine since someone already did it!! Not sure who's it is, but it's from the TL board... I'll have to find out....

NE-O

I was thinking of the Axis NE-O or Muse but probably not cause I'm gonna lose the luxury look of the car. Damn the Lowenharts for being too damn expensive. Can you recommend any moderately priced luxury rims?

Nope, those are the sweetest ones (IMO) I've found.

I still havent decided. heh

I guess I'm just gonna go with Ground Control's... If I don't like them I'm sure I can find someone to buy them. They fit Accord V6's too.

Wow Soopa. I just clicked on your stereo pic for the first time. That looks really nice! I can't wait to see it with the wheels and ground controls. My friend has ground controls on his RSX and the ride is a little on the firm side, but it's not bad at all. The convenience of full adjustability is well worth it.

yea, I'm in phil2's RSX all the time... he has GC's and 19's... and its kinda rough/bouncy. But I don't that if thats simply because the RSX isnt that cushy to begin with.

I guess well see... hopefully everything will be here by next week. I have the week off and I theres a lot o pimpin to be done with everyone outta school
