Hey guys, just two quick favours...has anyone done roof racks on a CL yet? If so can you please post a pic! Thanks


And also, And also, all i have is snow tires on steelies at the moment and i wanna get rims...leaning towards like a deepdish black style and if not ill go with an OEM wheel..what wheels would look good? Thanks





Thanks alot guys!

 

pdiddy has some disgustingly sexy rims that are 19s i believe, sames style as mine just bigger and better.

i didn't wanna go big on rims since toronto is ASS for pot holes and can EASILY throw out ur alignment and or bend a rims so i stuck with 17's. plus tires are way cheaper, and bumps are much easier on the car.......................

but if i could have it my way i'd steal pdiddy's rims and call it a day :-)

 

Yeahh his wheels are sexy!

I love his car...i love lipstuh's car too!

 

why roof racks? I see them on old accords on TAC and i don't get it. Looks weird to me. It's not an SUV.
Your best bet for rims is to look on kijiji or local rim shops i think. Although i had my rims shipped from Cali! Can't find them here. Get some lower offset if that's what you're going for. 5x114.3 bolt pattern.

 

Roof racks are soo sick ahaha

 

unless you really need it to carry stuff, i don't get it either

 

Its just a style i like.

 

if I ever start mountain biking again I'll need to investigate that topic. but right now, it's nowhere near needed. I mean, LOOK how big our trunks are.

I use my car for hot tub service sometimes and i still got plenty of room for shit.

 

i got a Yakima rack on my CL with a wind fairing. Looks alright. Works great for skis and boards. i'm using the Q-tower system just like that Civic above but without the bike racks and a new fairing.

 

I saw this one custom roof rack done by another azine member (who's name i forgot) he was also doing a turbo set-up on the auo trans, lasted 3 runs and then needed a 6 speed to keep the trans from blowing.. lol

anyone know who i am referring to?

I would really like to show that thread/picture of that insane custom basket rack... I LOVE it...

 

Post pic?

 

I have my 19" RJs for sale

 

Ive seen roof racks over in 2G TL

 

I like the roof racks on certain cars. I dont know if the CL is one of them.

 

id avoid roof rack unless u really need it. Ive been able to fit skis and fishing poles in the trunk or can use the pass thru door but for bikes u prob need the rack unless u want to take wheels off. Lots of options for wheels matters what u like. Id start by going to tirerack or other sites and picking out some you like. Then make sure its the right size/offset and bolt pattern.

 

civics wheels are nice id look at those. What are u replacing those with civic?

 

jdm inspired (a tl though) has pictures of his car on here with a roof rack installed,


anyways try looking at thule or yakima racks, pretty sure they make custom fit adapters for the cl

 

Thanks, Im looking at a set of Gram Lights that I really want. I just need to source them in the finish and offset that I need.

x2, the Accord kit may work though
