Sold the CL, one last tribute
It's been here a good 5 years here. Had a lot of fun. I will still lurk here and there probably in the OT forums. I will come back to see the fresh new crowd of 16 year olds coming on here. Hope the OG's hold it down. 
Oh well, here's my progress throughout:
1st CL
Test fitting on the C2's (18x8 +50 offset)
On the car
Volk Racing GTP (18x7.5 +45 offset)
Sold it, next kid totaled it after 5,000 miles
2nd CL
Lowered it on the 2001 CL-S wheels
Threw on C2's
Got new C2's
Picked up some 5Zigen FN01R-C (18x7.5 +48 offset)
Sold those and got some Racing Hart C5 3 piece (18x8 +50 offset)
Back to stock

Hey Don, what's the difference between the two sets of C2's you had? Was one set in better shape?

Thanks everyone for the kind words. Either a G35 or a GS300. I love the E46 M3's but I'm not a fan of BMW's interiors. They are kind of plain.
I was thinking of picking up another CL this time around with Navi and lower miles but seems like the resale values make it a no-go. Like I said on another thread, took me 2 months to sell mine for $12k and a buddy of mine just picked up an '03 CL 6-speed mint condition for $11k clear title with navi.
Whatever I pick up, I will try to pick up a beater Legend so I can roll to the Acura meets in style.

Not sure if you're shopping coupes, but the upcoming Audi A5 looks nice in and out. I agree, BMW interiors are sad. I find Lexus kinda boring, and Infiniti, it;s ok.

Yeah, but I paid REAL cheap for brand new wheels with brand new Nitto tires. Once I sell these, I'll probably go back to mesh and pick up some VS-XX. The wheels were made for Brembo clearance so smaller lip. However, I'll be able to market them to a bigger crowd.
Also, I wanted to be different also. Everyone on G35driver has the Work S1 3 pc and 2pc. I would rather have something else that everyone and their mom isn't rolling on. Only one other guy I know of has the SSR and it's the silver finish.
