I cant decide what finish I want to put on the car. It is a NBP. And these are the wheels for reference:

I personally love the black w/ polished lip on NBP. Just my . Either one of those choices would be balln though.

does anyone think 19s r too much, or are 18s suffice with a slammed drop on coilovers? i dont wanna sacrifice power, but i do have a s/c

Time For Sleeep

go for the 18's, heavy 19's aren't you friend for performance (or gas mileage lol).

If you're lookin's for power, wheels are going to suck some of it away. I would stick with the 18's. Or get the 19's and have a set of light weights for the track. Either way, I think those black with the polished lip would look great on a black CL.

Pic of my car for reference, if anyone knows how to photoshop:

whats the offset? if its below +45 pick new wheels.

New Image

What offset do I need for 18s or 19s. +42 for 18s fine?

o1s

go +45 or higher.

romeo112

yea id go for the black rims as well, but the chromies are just as hot. go for 19s..cmon whats 1 extra inch gonna hurt weight-wise. 19s are a perfect size for our cars imo

New Image

u guys r killin me, im ordering the rims tomorrow, and cant decide. ugh!

RYANGP

the black/polished lip looks pretty hot
that'd be my choice

Before you buy these wheels... You really should get a wheel with an offset of +45 if you plan on lowering the car. If you do not lower the car with these wheels, your car will make the cover of 4x4 magazine. Do yourself a favor and find a wheel that works best for the CL

I just did a search on these wheels and im finding they have a +20 offset

I would definitely go black for whatever my opinion is worth. I think you know the pros and cons now of 18s vs 19s. You just gotta pull the trigger

MikeCLS6

get the 19's that are black with lip, just make the sure the offset and width of the rim are correct

above a +45 and no wider then 19x8

kukicl300

DEFINITELY THE BLACK 19'z

Jared03CLS

18x8 in Black, but watch that offset.

Here a question. Spoke to my supplier, I can get these wheels in 18x8.5 or 19x8.5 with a +45 offset. Will I have rubbing issues?

Time For Sleeep

if your drop is anywhere near halfway decent yes. =P (depending on how stiff your shock and spring set up is).

New Image

Why is that, because of the 8.5" width?

JoeyASPEC

Black.

Time For Sleeep

along with the offset, depending on your tire set up (and assuming you're not running crazy negative camber), the wheels will most likely go out past the fenders ==> rubbing anytime you hit a dip =/.


i say go for chrome.

but i'm a whore for chrome wheels

easymoney

yea if you go with a 8.5 width slammed or even lowered you will rub especially w 19s

but if you want performance in mind forget 19s...although they look better in my opinion

New Image

So my best option is an 8" wide wheel huh?

If you had a straight on side shot of the wheels I can photochop it for you. If you find one I'll do it.

i like the black on chrome, but you need to find a wheel that is 18x8 or 19x8 and +48 or higher is better.

New Image

for some reason i am finding it difficult to find rims similar to that in a 19x8 in black finish with 48+ offset. anyone able to help?
