Not 19s. Not in NJ. Our potholes are world famous.

I get scared when I hit a pothole and I've got 18s. With 19s I'd be afraid to drive the streets.

I still love my C2s. I was at the pizza place for lunch today and some guy runs up and goes hey man are those C2s. I love them wheels.

They are very classy, not too showy and I feel like they they go with the car. I'm not really into Bling Bling.

tiguy99, that is for only 1 CL-S wheel? the seller is trippin.. only if you had a scratched one or something maybe..

I agree with NSXNEXT, C2s are sooo nice. I didn't even know how nice it would look until I saw some pictures for myself.

18"s I think are the perfect size.

$50 saved so far, only $3,450 more to go for new wheels and rubbers.

I want to save money for new wheels but I keep getting tempted to get other things first..

At the drive-thru, tell them "I want my order to-go please".

True, I agree, there are way too many big potholes....

I'll probably get alstadt's. RH's are little too pricey4 me.

I like this man's taste in wheels. I'd probably get the BS5 in supercrystal chrome. But I know I'll never afford it.
