so you buy (if you bought it) a nice $13K+ car but you cant spend 2 Gs on wheels? i dont get it. it would help if you have pics of the wheels otherwise we have to search in order to help you. i see that the p45rs only come in 9.5 width so throw that one out. the grids look nice but i wouldnt get gold or bronze unless they were 19s, to me its like when you see 15 inch chrome wheels, it doesnt look right, if your going to stay small/stock then stay with plain silver IMO. you should just save your money up and get some nice 19s

hmm i guess ur right, i dont want 19's though, highest id go is 18, cuz im gonna get the Eibach sport springs and the lowering rate is alot, and i dont want any rubbing, thats the reason i wanted a little smaller to factory size? is this a bad idea..someone help me choose a good set of wheels, i really like the C2 in silver, but i want something differnent and something that stands out....... its not that i cant afford them, i guess im just being cheap,and id rather spend money on the performance, but i dunno, lmk

i would reconsider, IMO there is little to no point in spending thousands for one more inch. not sure what springs your getting but ive always known eibach as more of a consertive drop, looks good but your not going to be slammed on them-besides that is why you get low profiles tires that match the stock circumference/height of OE tire.

what are you guys talking about?? Typically, we have 18" wheels for the CL that cost $1000 and less for the set, tires shouldn't cost more than $140 a piece for 235/40/18. So at most you would be spending $1600 for the set whith tires, and our wheels are built specifically for the CL (the part numbers intended for the CL). Servos can be offered at even lessif we have the desired finish in stock.
