Please give me eveything you got, I'm thinking about putting some black axis mod7 on the car. I'm going to paint the calipers soon. I like the rims but don't love them, they are axis tc evo's

i dont' feel the rims match well w/ the car.
the rigid and almost mechanical look of the TC Evo's don't flow well with the smooth lines of the cl.

I agree that the wheels just don't seem to fit the car. But if looks like you have a really cool car. I'm not too sure how the black mod sevens would look, but one of our fallen members had the same color car with regular mod sevens and it looked great.

Car looks good considering some of the other rim choices I've seen out there. I still think gold w/ polished lip on the SMR CL's is the shizzit.

SMRRRRR FTW.
I actually was going to purchase a set of those when I first bought my CL-S. But I started looking at the wheels in more detail, and decided that they weren't the choice of wheel for my car. The car has just too classy of lines for those wheels. Great colour choice though.

I think the wheels look good. But the only thing that matters is what you think. Your the man that has to make the payment. Love the color, try to drop it more if you can! I love slammed cars though.

19 are too damn big for our cars - as much as i hate to admit it.
CLariSe169 is right, compared to other rims on other CLs' they arnt a bad choice but look at them compared to the stock - the stock is nice. sits propa!
i saw a split 5 spoke where the spoke were VERY thin. looks like god !!

17's are way too small, and 20's in most cases are too large. 18's are probably the best practical balance, but a good set of 19's look

hmm ive only seen 1 badass set of 19's, wish i could remember what type.
since i bought the car I wanted 19's, but over time iv'e grown on the slammed 18's look.
in toronto i doubt you'd want to drive a CL with 19's, its pothole city.
but sure i guess in a paved area it would be gangster

19"s are the best looking wheel choice for this car. But 18"s are very nice in their own right. I can speak from experience. I have 3 sets of wheels. 17's, 18's, and 19's.
19"s.. Looked fucking dope as hell. I still would love to rock them, but I can't afford the tires.
18"s.. My car performed the best with these on. The car had better gas mileage than 19"s, and 17"s. It was also quick, and gripped better.
17"s.. 'Eh, they're stock. What else can I say about that? lol
Right now I'm on my 17"s, but that's because my car is about to go into the body shop. So it needs to be on some rollers. As soon as it comes back out, I'm going to throw the 19"s back on.

I was thinking the same thing Ron said, I like the rims just not on the car. I hit a nasty pothole the other day, I thought for sure they would be trashed....but nope not a dent on them. I might keep them on the car for now, if not I'll be selling them for 5-600 minus the toyo proxies..I did like them on the TL though....

The magnaflows are not loud at all IMO, they have slight rumble at idle, and I really cant hear much at wide on the throttle unless I really listen for it. I don't have headers on yet but they are in the box waiting to be put on...oh aem in the mail. I have a nice stereo so I always have my stereo blasting, I usually have the windows up, cause I hate it when people go around listening to uncut rap while kids are around. 
I have slight drone at cruising speed but nothing annoying..hope that helps....
