wheel decision
cant decide what rims to get. dont know much about them either.
I have a black 2001 cl-s, putting in eibach prokit this week and going for 18x8 or 18x7.5 wheels. I dont want anything too flashy, just nice and sleek - balance of class and sport.
what does everyone know about the following brands: Exel, Katana, Konig, Axis, Enkei, Nakayama and Ace? And what do you guys think about finish for wheels on a black cls? Im thinking hyperblack or silver. Ive been looking at:
Konig Tantrums in Silver

Katana Inspires (Hyperblack)
http://www.ec-securehost.com/OnlineT...Inspire_lg.jpg
Ace Lolas (silver or chrome)
http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/ace/lola.gif
Exel H-50 (gunmetal) http://www.wheelmax.com/Wheels/exel/h50gm.gif
Nakayama X7 (silver)

Axis Se7en (Silver)

Enkei LM1 http://www.enkei.com/LuxurySpecPAGES/LM15SSpecs.html
and does anyone have any other suggestions of wheels that are similar to these styles and under $250 per wheel?

If you are getting something dark like gunmetal, black and etc. You should get one that have a machine or chrome lip. If you don't I think you will have too much black and your rims will not stand out. Just my opinion.

has anyone bought new wheels for an '01 cls? What offset did you get? Ive been told that i need a minimum +50 offset, but the application utilities on many vendor sites show wheels with a +45 offset as being applicable for the '01 cls.

The choices in your first post were much nicer.
I also agree with the guy above. If you're getting black or gunmetal, get it a chrome lip. Looks much better. I kinda like those Exel H50s. Dont't know anything about them quality wise.
Good luck,

I just ordered the Enkei LM1's with 225/40. I would've order them several weeks ago but I went through the whole 225 vs 235 dilemma...bah! I'll post pics when I get them

Nice... those wheels are hot. I was seriously considering them before I decided against chrome/polished. Here's a pic of morgan040's NPB with them... hope he don't mind

I personally like the Se7ens....
The Enkei's & Katana look like the RH Evolution C5's
