the rears do poke out a little but looks perfect. right now i can get my index finger in between the fender and tire up to my knuckle. the parking deck shots didnt come out well at all. i think because of the lighting. the first outdoor shot is the most fair representation of what the wheels look like. i love hyper silver! they are so freakin bright

my rear brakes are gooone. squeal like a bitch even with no pressure. im gonna go with EBC 3GD sports with green stuff pads. maybe one day ill do BBKs up front but def do not have the cash flow for the mod right now. i was thinking about painting the calipers...either red or black probably....i would do sundance gold but that would be expensive to do an exact match

exact match is easy.
you have the color code inside your door at least thats where mine was.
You just have to find the paint store that puts it in a arisol can.
I think it use to be 35-40 a can.
One can will do 2 calipers no problem
maybe all 4.
They can even make it a hitemp.
I use to work at a automotive paint store.

umm not quite bud but nice detective work. ya see i USED the money that i recieved from selling the ronjons to BUY these WHEELS. my brakes JUST went out last week AFTER i ordered these wheels. thank you for your concern. i will have new brakes next week

its so funny. some of yall guys say that 20s DONT BELONG, but an 18x11 with crazy offset does? where is the logic, its just different styles. some of yall need to take a chill pill

and im not hating on those wheels at all. just pointing out that if mine dont belong, then certainly those dont either. oh hell, why dont we all just stick with stock wheels because THEY BELONG

please dont paint them red its not going to match your cars paint at all. it wont be expensive to color match its a stock color.

+1 and having those heavy ass 20's is only going to make your brake problem worse.

not feeling those rims at all.

Brakes don't "go out" they are easily viewable and you can see what life remains.

I am glad I am not on the road near you.

You sound like an immature child that puts looks ahead of safety. I reiterate, I am glad I am not on the road near you.

50 pounds is freaking heavy.

They look ridiculous in my opinion.

Enjoy your clown car, what time do all the clowns jump out & run around it?

i think you reeally want to come put my new brake pads on dont you? im probably gonna get it done tomorrow if i have them adjust my rear camber, EBC pads can wait for another day.
50 pounds is freaking heavy. thats what stock 17s weigh, so yes they arent light but isnt 'freaking heavy"They look ridiculous in my opinion.

Stock 17s do not weigh 50 lbs. Clearly you are clueless. Make some more baseless claims please we like it.

Please don't drive when your car is unsafe.

Humor is always lost on the ignorant.

05 TL 17" which I bet weighs more than a stock CL rim because it is .5" wider (17 / 7.5)

Even my 3 piece 19x8.5 (which is the largest I would personally go) with tires were closer to 46lbs.

I'm not usually a fan of 20's but they actually look good to me. Not sticking out too much etc. Brakes do need to be bigger or painted though.

50 LBS WITH TIRES! no crap stock wheels alone dont weight 50 lbs. when your talking about weight you have to include a tire.

rondog weighed his legend2s, they were 49.x lbs and he said it was right at the weight of his stock 17s

if im wrong please prove it

Dude, dont sweat some of the folks on here . This is a car forum, not a ethics gathering to discuss when you should purchase stuff and in what order. If people can't choose to cordially comment instead of turn it into a bitchfest then just ignore em

You are the idiot with the clown car. You said stock rims, surely you can't expect people to guess what you mean.

If you mean wheels & tires say so. 215 50 17"s do not weigh 25+ pounds that was stock size tires so again I say get lost with your nonsense misinformation.

I am not telling him what order to mod his car in, I am saying if your pads are at 1% they need attention before anything else.
