I like 'em but not much a fan of gold wheels on any color car. Must be expensive, must have deep pockets...

Those look nice; but a little too spokey for me. On a blue CL, they might look really nice. I recommend doing a photoshop of them on your car before buying them.

Yeah i was gonna say i've seen those on a WRX and they looked great.

I'd rather have the silver ones but the gold should still look hot.

Yea, came out half-way through the year. They killed the Sundance Gold and replaced it with the Aegean Blue.

As for the rims... they are hot... but I'd go with silver. The gold reminds me too much of a Subaru which reminds me of a rally car. I think the silver would be hot on a lowered AGP. Again, that's just my opinion. It's your car so it's your call.... but the rims are hot either way!!
