Honestly, not much of a fan. I think the CL needs more substance when it comes to the spoke thickness because it is such a long fat car and the kind of rims you have listed above are just too skinny for my taste. But that is only my personal preference.

As for the price, there are so many variables.

1.) size of rims
2.) does it come with tires and if so, what kind of tires and what wear is left
3.) condition of rims
4.) Brand


I'm not a rim person, but fill those answers in and im pretty sure someone else can give you a fairly good educated guess.

I agree with pits on the rim style opinion. RJ Inspyres are the best looking wheels i have seen on a CL.

I love RJ wheels, but the Inspyres are ugly as hell.

no offense but at your current rims. the new ones look much better but there still nothing to really look at.

^'m fully aware my current set up is ugly as ass. They were already on the car... I could probably sell my rims for enough to buy these though, and my tires would fit on them so...

If I can do it for less than $50 more than I get for mine I think it'd be worth it.

get rid of the ones you have now. if you like the ones in the pics then get those.

if the tires on those rims are still decent, then i would pay around 500-700 dollars. if you can get them for less, then great! if the tires are shot then lower the price to like 300-400.
