What you think about these wheels?

Hey there here is my 2K3 ClS 6 Speed. I put 18 but I'm not sold on how the car looks with them.

Wait is that a photoshop? If those are the real wheels, what size tire is that? It looks big.

Looks good though.

They are Konig 18's. The car has been lowered about 1.5 also, AEM Intake, Waiting for the Alphawerks Header for the 6 Speed. I like the RJ Wheels but shipping them to Puerto Rico is just too expensive, future mods Supercharger

Yeah, I'm not really feeling them that much. May be 19" would be a little better looking?

What size tires though? THey look huge for the wheel. A lightly smaller tire will give you the apperance of a larger wheel, without getting all new wheels and tires.

The only part of the rims that aren't black are the spokes. The tires are 225/40/18

They look ok, i think they would look really sweet if you painted the black part silver, that will make the rim look a little bigger, i think

I was thinking about painting all the black parts silver but I'm not quite sure how it's going to look. That's why I came to you guys to help me out

I'm a big fan of 5 star rims but not those,they look small and need to be colored in reverse meaning paint tha star black and the lip silver or chrome,then they'tll look better!!

I like them. The tires do look big though. Take a close up shot.

Oh, I like the avatar too.

Looks good, I like Im sure there was a reason for the big tires, prob lot's of holes out there, protecting your investment, I understand. That car out there im sure it's one in a million, you prob get looks everywhere you go with that in PR, wish I can get mine out there for a day...

I will take a close up of the wheels tomorrow, the reason for the 225/40 tires there's quite a few potholes so that's why I choose that size and as far as my avatar all I can't say is Thanks Vida

really?!?!?! they look like they are 15" because the tires blend in w/the black lip. i personally dont like black rims...look like spares all around.

and yes, the avatar, vida guerra...she's amazing...always here in miami.

I totally agree, you lose the diameter of the wheel, maybe you could get away with that on a Civic or another black wheel accepting car, but the CL needs a more Luxo wheel.
