Well here are a few pics of my CL. Sorry about the quality, but that's the best I can do right now. I didn't even want to take these b/c my car is so damn dirty right now. Hopefully they're sized properly to upload as attachments now, what a pain in the ass with a connection that's barely 36K right now. I'll try to post better ones later this week, hopefully with a CLEAN car. What's a good place to have host the pics for free? I'm thinking Yahoo.

Rod:
Nice, but you've got to get new rubber ! OEM's suck so much ! Sways and rubber and your set ! Otherwise, I like the rims !

 

My bad, you've got new tires ! Sorry, thought they were OEM's......

Rod,

Those are some very nice wheels. If you don't mind me asking, where did you buy the wheels and how much?

 

time to clear them headlights tight car bro

 

i had those on my 1st gen tl. sold em! now i am thinking about gettn them again. they look good on a cl, i didnt think they would though. nice clean car! drop it drop it drop it

 

Thanks for the feedback.

Fabvsix, the OEM rubber does suck ass! I have no complaints with the FZ4s yet. I was mainly concerned about their grip on wet roads and so far so good. We've been getting quite a bit of rain down here and these tires are great. Maybe not as good as T1-Ss as some say, but when compared to stock, it's like a night and day difference. The car feels planted and doesn't get the hydroplane feeling. About the sways, I considered them when getting the springs, but I don't know how much use I'll get from them since I've never experienced before and after test drives to see what a difference they make. Besides, I'm more about the looks right now than performance.

SIGRUDE, I bought the wheels locally, but you can find them on just about every wheel website, except for Tire Rack I think. Go to wheelmax.com, they have them listed for about $2,500 I believe, that's with tires.

Marc S, I've been wanting to clear out my headlights ever since I got the car, but I need to find someone trustworthy to do it. I don't think it's something I want to do myself and I wnat them done right the first time so I don't have to deal with moisture getting in there. That's one of the next mods on the list though...along with painting my calipers black, getting a couple 12s in a custom setup hopefully, and a Comptech exhaust.

 

Nice rims!
I agree, those lights need to be cleared.

 

Well I'm on Comptech springs now, but I think the rear wheel gap is still too big. The front doesn't look bad. I'm hoping a couple 12s in a custom setup will be enough weight to bring the rear down just enough. I thought about coilovers, but don't know if I wanna waste that money again and if I wanna deal with the camber and rubbing issues.

 

I'm suprised Soopa hasn't said anything yet

 

you rang?

looks good. missing something... a drop me thinks...


this better be the last person with my wheels or imma bug!

I KNOW YOUR IPS I CAN FIND YOU!!!!!

 

First you are jealous of everyone having HID's like yours, so MYSTERIOUSLY, a RASH of CL HID's are stolen in the NY/NJ area!!!

Now I sense a RASH of CL AXIS se7en's being stolen!!!!!

 

L@@KING GOOD ROD
I see you went with 19's...good choice. I can't wait to see your car in person at the next meet.

BTW:Wash that damn thing!!! :P

 

i love the chrome and axis se7ens! pimp shit

 

looking good rod....where do u live in Miami...i think i saw u but im not pretty sure.

 

LOL at soopa....hmmmm i think i want the axis se7ens now in 19' and chrome....how about a gb on em? j/k

-briancl

 

looks nice. i think you're right, you should lower it more and clear the lights.

 

everyones complaining about so many people having these, i ask, who else does?

 

nobody does. heh

just me & rod... i dunno where he gets that from.


im just complaining cuz i dont want ANYONE to have them but me!!!


some of the TL owners have them.... but they dont count... they have TL's

 

Thanks for the compliments guys.

And yeah, I can only think of Soopa having them in chrome and I know someone on the board had a white CL with gunmetal Se7ens. I wanted to get something original, but I just couldn't find any other wheel that I could get within a couple weeks that I felt looked good in 19" on a CL. Most 5 spoke wheels look to close to stock and I wanted something a bit different. Too many people already had C2s so I thought M5 3-piece wheels or GT3s. M5s would have been at least a 2 month wait and the GT3s would only fit in 18", so i just went with the rims I originally wanted, besides I haven't seen any CL in South Florida with this setup.

 

quess what....im gonna get axis se7en's too but they are not like ur guys'....they are one piece with a 3 piece look ...w/ a 2.5 inch lip and bolts all the way around....no one else will have em since i pre-ordered mine from axis already...the wheels are still in production and wont be out for couple more weeks....!

 

oh and btw, mine is a black cls 2003 fully loaded

 

Just put a big heavy speakerbox in the trunk!
or a lot of camera shit!

 

those wheels are 3 piece, not just a look.

 

finally you got pics rod looks nice yea where do u live by i might see you around but there is a silver cl with somewhat your same setup around miami that has gunmetal se7ens in 18s

i guess it is bout that time to have another meet

 

I dont think i made myself clear.....the rims soopa and rod have are "axis se7ens"....Mine are "Axis se7en MOD" It looks identical to the 3 piece modular but it is only one piece...it will b out soon and i ll post pics....just wait......

 

damn...... soopa's car looks almost like yours.

 

I live in West Kendall, Lago Mar/Hammocks area. I have yet to see a CL down here with Se7ens, I barely even see non-stock CLs.

It is time for another meet though, they're trying to set one up for this Sat night. I may be able to meet up for a while if it's down south before everyone rides out to "the towers," where ever in north miami that is.

 

I was waiting for those wheels to come out before I got my Se7ens, but they took too long and my stock tires had gone to shit so I needed new tires ASAP. First they told me that they'd be out sometime in June, then in August, and now it's September and nothing.

 

I placed an order for the Se7en Mod a few months back and im still waiting. But I called Axis today and they had good news. They said they have recived the first production wheel and this means it should only be about 3-4weeks before the rest are in the country. I ordered through Spy Engineering and they have a pic of the first production Se7en Mod at this site

 

my bad! i like those, i do believe i will order some also. i will have mine dipped in chrome though

 

They don't look as good as I thought they would. Just compare them to the actual 3-piece...



You can definitely see the difference.

 

they just look like 1-pc with fake rivets on the inner ring.

 

Exactly, I'll keep mine for now.

 

ey rod towers isnt north miami so u know its like broward area its jus kinda like the 8th street crap down here but bigger but it gets broken up by cops by like 10:30 so its really useless driving all the way up there

 

2-3 more weeks and the wheels will be at the docks ready for delivery...ill post pics 4 yall...hopefully it dont look shitty....fingers crossed

 

the center cap and the bolts are not supposed to be black

 

I figured, but we really do need a little meet down south. I need to see some other spring setups on the CL and want to hear some of the systems people have.
