You can sand them down and paint them silver again. OR, what really looks sick is if you polish them.

Looks good man.
I used to have CL-S wheels. I absolutely loved them as an OEM style look. They look light years better than TL-S wheels.

they're nearly identical.. just a small taper on the CL wheels...

he could swap them out, and the only people who could tell would be us

Most people couldn't distinguish half the stuff people put on TLs. I don't think we're appealing to the average person...

I could spot the difference from a mile away. TL-S wheels have the little lip on them and are more silver. CL-S wheels have the flat face all the way to the tire and are "whiter" -- which looks way better to me.
