Positive AND negative feedback please...

I took this with my camera phone, so sorry if quality isn't Grade A. My car is lowered with Koni yellows and Eibach Pro Kit (this is all that was available in 2001 when I bought the car). Personally, after riding in another CL-S with Tein coilovers, I now hate my suspension and will be changing it soon! Nevertheless, my car is lowered approx. 1.8 - 2.0 inches but I get NO RUBBING! My wheels are a +50 offset and the tires are Pirelli PZERO NERO 245/30/20. I have a heavy a$$ed stereo system AND I can carry 4 (including myself) and STILL NO RUBBING! The only modifications done to the car was the rolling of the rear fenders. My stereo consists of an Alpine IVA-D900, an Autotek MX-3000, and Autotek SX-4160, Alpine 3-way 6x9's, 6.5's and tweets, and (2) PORTED JL Audio 12W7's. I dare ANY average SUV to try my stereo! Anyway I have installed the '03 headlights, tailights,a and grill, and Volvo sidemarkers. My window tint is 20% smoke, and I have also installed the Acura wood/leather steering wheel, wood shift knob, wood vents, and stick-on wood crap. I have installed a fog light switch in the blank space on the left of the steering wheel which is the same from a an '02 or '03 TL. I will be more than happy to take more pictures if someone would like me to.

Sorry if you can't read the yellow words ( I was trying something new), but it says Koni yellows...

wow stop the insanity of putting on 20s

and weren't lorinsers geared towards MBZ?

k2trill

...isn't a TL body kit for a TL? Isn't an M5 lip spoiler for an M5. By the way, I have a '02 S500 as well...

i'm not the biggest fan of full face rims but it looks pretty clean to me.

Sorry to be a , but IMO, they are too big and I think our cars look better with a more open type wheel.

But if you like them, that's all that matters.

kevin79925

tl kits and m5 lip spoilers will work fine on a cls and it looks good too.

CL_Cha

yea dude, more open wheel would look better imo. i actually saw a pic of a cl on 20" dubs somewhere. it actually looked pretty good. lemme see if i can find the pic

ccannizz11

20's are fine, but those full face rims are

Those wheels might look semi-okay if the car had a kit on it, but as it is

MarbleGT

how do you like no trunk space? i was told there is no way you can get the required space of 2 w7's in the trunk without taking up 80% of it. Lets see some pics of it!

Looks like you can't stand constructive criticism. You opened the floodgates with the comment below.

well you asked for positive and negative feedback :troutslap and i gave you what you asked for...

k2trill

I do not mind constructive criticism or opinions (they're are like Escalades...everybody's got one!), but seriously, to tell me Lorinser is a Benz tuner (which I know, and then say "I have a TL body kit and M5 spoiler..." I know I 'm no the only one here that understands where I'm coming from. Thanks though from everyone. I want a kit, but I want one like the kit on that RON JON CL. The problem TO ME is that the one they advertise and the one they are selling APPEAR to be different. Plus, I'm on my 4th tranny. I'm going to buy another bike before I do anything else with this car besides sell it and buy a G35 coupe or something. I went with this wheel because, a. I like it, b. it came in a high offset but wasn't skinny as hell (i.e. 7.5" wide), and c. Nothing else I liked with like a 4 inch lip would fit properly...by the way, someone else is hosting these pictures for me, so I will get my stereo pictures up here as well ASAP. My enclosure is custom made for my trunk (around the navigation module) and barely takes up half my trunk, not 80%...holla back.

MarbleGT

well obviously you can make a box the size of the speaker, but why buy a $600+ speaker and not have it in the right size enclosure. i bet you arent getting half the potential for those speakers. (esp. for 12's)

njzprettyboy

wow. i seriosuly doubt they are 9.5" wide. anyways, good fit.

k2trill

I have an idea... contact JL Audio and then reference their dealer Sound On Wheels in Huntsville, AL and mention my car. Ask ANY QUESTION you want to them. Next contact Jerry Damson Honda and Acura and reference my car and ask them anything. I don't have to lie or front. Everything I have told you is fact. My wheels only come in one 20" size 20" x 9.5" and my enclosure is made EXACTLY to JL specs and slot ported.

shinybluecls

...they look like 20 inch hubcaps to me...but its your ride

You asked for positive and negative feedback. He was honest. Relax.

first off sick as rims bro i love the man hole cover look sweet ass rims, but there is one thing i just dont understand, 20x9.5 50+ offset lowered and no rubbing with 4 in the car and a syst i have my cl dropped on 20x7.5 43 mm offset and i rub fenders rolled and trimmed my bumber i do have a custom trink to pretty heavy, i just dont understan it?????????? no way will i drive with 4 in my car, 3 is pushing it, i know your offset is higher, but your rims are freakin 2 inches wider, all in all i love your car heres mine,






by the way how much do those rims slow your car down,

mrsteve

iTrader: (1)

Oh and IMO they look horrible. Certain style wheels just don't belong on these cars.

MarbleGT

i never said i didnt believe you, i was just voicing my opinion, i dont have time to call people. i bet your systems is rediculously loud and bad ass. chill out.

dragon084

those rims are sick!

this pic ownz tho

mkomaee

thanks

MarbleGT

jesus dude!! you paid $500+ per wheel. (according to research)

MarbleGT

you are in the my "top 10" for hottest cl's on the site!

Chopsie

ok.
Personally, I hate those wheels, reason being, around, Hyundai's aare rolling around on them, which is very

I'm not a fan of big heavy chrome wheels on sports/Lux cars, but I will say your car does look well kept, and for that fact I will give you a compliment. The 03 heads and tails really look nice on NBP CL's.

I bet with the wheels, 30 series tires, Eibachs, and Konis, your car has to ride like complete shit it may not, but it would seem to me that it would.

IMO it looks ok, you need not a body kit, that may actually make it look kind of goofy.

(this is all the personal opinons of Chopper, thank you drive through)

Did you have those rims plugged and re-drilled? I always thought the lug pattern on those rims were 5x120...

Anyhow, I think it looks good...however, those rims would look better on a TL. The VIP Style doesn't look right on a CL.

morgan040

I think that it looks bad A$$!!!!!!

I'm supprised to see that wheel being 9.5" wide and still being able to fit under the fenderwells even with a 50 offset

Looks good in my opinion. I love the Black on Chrome

mattg

i think it looks pretty cool. i bet it looks bad as fcuk rolling down the street.

mkomaee

i second that mattg bet it does look sick as shit choppin down the street id break my neeck loookin at it if i saw it on the street

I paid $625 a wheel for my Racing Hart 3-piece C2s.

TypeS_boi

mkomaee
