Help: Which wheels? - pics

Check this link.....
http://www.cardomain.com/memberpage/629032/3

I'm putting one of these 18" wheels on my Silver 01 CL-S. And I'm looking for thoughts any of you fellow ACL.com'ers may have. Keep in mind that I will be lowering the car soon. Also a body kit will most likely come down the road. So which ones do you think I should go with?

Thanks for your input!

hard choice, the first ones will look larger since the spokes extend to the lip. the socond one looks nice as well but at this point, it's just a matter of preference, lip or no lip. I say number one just becasue of the illusion of being larger. Number one would also be more durable since the lip has support.

I think the first ones will look better on a CL, especially since they'll appear larger as everyone has mentioned.

I definitely like the larger look, but the first ones sometimes don't look that much different from stock when viewed on the car at first glance. IMO the second give the car a little bit meaner look with the design around the lip. However, the first ones are more my style.

Still can't decide..... Do you think anyone would notice if I put a pair of one on the right side and a pair of the other on the left, hehe.

I suggest a different style all together. try something with a small lip and without rivets to get the best of both worlds.

I couldn't find any that I liked. Got any suggestions? I do kind of like those on the acura in the pic on the banner at the top of the page. What are those?


P.S. I was considering your wheels as a possibility also.

If 18's or 19's then second one. If 17's then stick with the first.

I'm not a fan of either wheel, but if I had to choose, I would go with #2
