Post CL-S and TL-S have different rims

I dont know if any of you have noticed the TL-S rims are not the same as the CL-S. It looks like the TL's are a little skinnier and they have a lip as opposed to the CL-S' clean no lip look. I guess they put the lip in because the CL's rims are VERY prone to damage cause they stick out so much. Can a TL-s owner confirm this?

Yesturday I went to pohanka and saw the rim and when your standing like right behind the brake light and looking at the side angle of your car the rims don't stick out like the cl type S rim.s there also 6.5 vs.7.

Another thing I noticed was they had a cl type S demo car and it had scratches on all 4 rims.

You are correct...I like the cleaner, more agressive look of the CL-S wheels as opposed to the TL-S wheels.
