Those look real good on the CL. How much did the rims and tires cost?

You've got a nice ride there, esp. with all of those Comptech parts on there. I'm personally not really into chrome wheels, but those look good on it. As long as you like them, that's all that matters.

up front .5 pounds more than stock
in back 2.5 pounds more than stock
Considering they are such big wheels, i feel it is a good trade off. And the handling the tires supply is excellent!

That looks pimp...

...if I had your car, I'd make it look even nicer by adding a dark tint and a lower drop (like 1.5" to 2")

How much did those wheels cost you? Are they customized, especially made for the CL? How's the ride quality?

they were expensive, but HRE did make them custom and they are forged alloy not cast. they told me they had to redo an entire wheel and they were having trouble with their clear coat guy, but they could have been bull shitting me, but the wheels turned out sweet!

Surprisingly the ride is just as smooth if not smoother, the tires are a lot softer then stock, and they grab the road like a leech on your skin.

If it's a secret, I understand

Also what brand of tire did you go with?

Nice ride dude! Like the wheels. Its the sytle that you start liking more & more as time goes by.

Dude, love the "no tint". You have a really clean look. Looks much better than Amir's car with "tint"

j/k Amir, your car looks cool too.

hey, that's looking awesome!

what offsets did you get?

did you think long and hard before you decided on mounting the wheels that way? although you can't just switch them around (with the directional tires), did you think about having the spokes "cut" forward?
