did you install the chrome pieces on the overfenders? i don't like it much, but it is your baby.

hook it up with some Hella offroad lamps and a grille-mounted jack.

It'll look good when you lower it, and remove those chrome strips from the fenders.

Hey dude, who sold you those rims, they sold you rims with the wrong offset/width, pushing the tires out too far. Fitting rims is a science in it's self, left to the professionals. I would take them back and properly measure your offset and install something more eye pleasing. Those babies are going to cause an accident throwing off your cars handling.

I may not know you from jack but I'll say that shit is just not right.

The chrome accents I don't mind but messing with your cars handling is a definate redo.

The rims themselves aren't bad. And they fit for now. If you lowered it, even rolling the fenders you will rub. 7.5 & +42 on 20's just does not fit good.

well since it has a wider stance and bigger tires, it seems to handle cornering better you dumbass. Dont be jealous because you cant afford 20's.

Work Wheels > Motegi wheels.

You realize his wheels list at 1k each? Don't get your panties in a twist because someone doesn't like your shit. Especially don't call people out without first knowing what they have.

you can the fenders rolled at pretty much any local wheel/tuning shop...it's very simple and inexspensive. Plus it move you fenders out so now your wheels should tuck under.

Not a good rim for the CL in my opinion - too big, offset is too small, and your car is not lowered.
