I searched but couldnt find any pics of a 2nd Gen CL Type-S with 2nd Gen TL Type-S wheels. Anyone have any or know where I can find a pic of one?

AnthraciteCL thanks for the pic. Do you have any more pics from other angles, I would like to see the difference the wheel width made. I like both the TL-S wheels and the 01-02 CL-S wheels but I wanted to see the difference because I am considering buying the wheels from someone. If anyone would like sell their 2001 or 2002 CL-S wheel let me know. I had 2003 CL-S wheels but I didnt like them.

The wheels are the same exact look as any 01-02 CLS. So just look at those pics. The TLS wheels are only 6.5" wide though. Your not going to see any difference between CLS wheels & TLS wheels on a CLS.

This is my TL-S wheel
What is the main different except the width? I compared it to my friend's CLS and they look identical

The only difference is the width, & the lip. The TLS wheels have a little flat lip where the CLS wheels have a rounded lip.

I think it was because of the fender bulges on the TL. It does not make a whole lot of sense to me either.

Thanks guys, I am just getting tired of the 4X4 look (2004 TL wheels) and feel like going back to stock since the roads in NYC are so horrible. Its hard to find these wheels are a bargain without them being curbed up.

The cheapest i found was $350 with scratches, I am wondering if its worth it or try and spend more for something newer, I bought the ones I have for 300 with scratches and now I hate them, plus they arent 2nd Gen. Thats what I wanted in the first place I guess I should have just waited.

will have pictures later on; i didn't realize they were half an inch skinnier than the CL-S wheels, so they def. look alil' more sunken into the fenders than my CL-S wheels were. Probably going to get some spacers to compensate for alil' space
