'03 TL vs. CL rims?

Are they different? I know the CL rims are wider by 0.5, but besides that, is there any other difference cause they look a bit different to be, kinda like the spokes on the TL rims are almost flat, while the spokes on the CL rims are a little concave.

The CL-S rims pop out more..giving it that 3D look while the TL-S rims are more flat.

Most of the CL-S owners I know complain about how easy the rims get damaged for the simplest reasons. Although it may look sharper, the design of the CL-S rim does not allow it to be protected by the tire. I've seen CL-S's deeply gouge them by going thru a car wash.

One thing I like about the CL-S is the wing. Wonder if that fits on a TL.

Well I personally never take my car through a car wash with those rails. The only time my car has ever been through a car wash is at my dealership..and I even got my dealership to take off the rails in their car wash b/c I complained many times about the workers being careless while driving my car through the wash. My front left tire has a few scuff marks..barely noticeable..but still noticeable to me. And that makes me very angry :banghead: And all the other times, it's only me that gets to touch my car. At least with the dealership, you have someone to take the rap for any flaw you find on your car afterwards. I take about 5 minutes to look over my car everytime I leave my dealership to make sure nothing happend to it.
