why would you want to put TL-S rims on a CL-S??? they are NOT the same, in fact, they not only have a slightly different style, they also are a half of an inch narrower, which effectively reduces the maximum tire size you can put on and limits the benefit of better grip and handling that better tires would offer....TL-S wheels on a CL-S is a lame idea....stick with stock CL-S wheels or go aftermarket....there is no reason on earth to DOWNGRADE your wheels, unless its like a winter setup and you have better stuff for the rest of the year...

However the *one* benefit I can think of would be....

thats it's harder to curb a TLS wheel.

I have TL-S rims but then again I have a CL-P, not a CL-S. The CL-S rims are a 1/2" wider so I've heard that they may rub on a CL-P, therefore I got the TL-S. If I had a CL-S, I'd stick with the rims you have, no reason to change.
