that ride is HOT. I want those rims soooo bad. I was a black prelude last night with the exact rims. Does the place you got them have a website? I'd like to get them in a smaller size.
NICE RIDE and GREAT PICS.

Well, i live in LA during the week and Yorba linda on the weekend, so since the roads in La suck, the ride a a little harsher...Ever since i dropped the car with CT, the ride was harsher, but with 19s, it wasnt so much more worse....Esp since i have TEINs and the shocks are a better match for the drop, so i think, its actually pretty damn smooth....When im back on the weekends, where the roads are newers, the ride feels almost like stock, couldnt even tell there were 19's....

Plus TODAY, i just put on my sways, so the damn thing corners even better than with just 19s....with 19s, i felt a big difference in handling, but the sways made it much better....hope that helps! =)

yea, i got a 330ci....overall, i really like both cars....Stock for stock, i would say the 330 is tighter and more responsive...but now that i got coils and wheels and sways, i really like the CL...Its basically a tradeoff...some things in BMW u just cant beat (RWD, handling, etc.), and there are some things in Acura(acceleration, std options, comfort, smoothness), that i feel are better...Its hard to get both in one car, so i decided to just get both...

mr. big, I think that shot of the car's rear is the best one yet. :phatyo: I can't stop staring at those wheels and that drop, it doesn't even look like you could squeeze 1 finger between the tire and fender. But the camber on that rear wheel looks like it's off a bit, maybe it's just the pic.
