TL-S or CL-S rims

I'm stuck with a dilemma guys. I have a TL-S, and have always liked how the CL-S rims looked. My buddy has a CL-S, and wants to do a straight trade with me. If you were me, would you do it??? Opinions please!!

Personally, I don't like the look of the 03 CL-S rims. I like the 01-02 CL-S and 02-03 TL-S rims. They brought them back for the 07 6spd Accord as well. I'd keep em.

If it is 01-02 CL-S, Definitely trade it. 03 CL-S don't look good at all.

Sorry, I forgot to mention. They are the 01-02 CL-S rims. So if you were me, would you keep the TL-S rims or trade?

provided they are in good condition id do the trade... the cl-s rims look a little bit more aggressive on the TL while keeping the same style. (the 01-02 cl-s rims im talking about of course)

CL-S wheels are 7" wide compared to TL-S which are 6.5". I'd go with the CL-S wheels.

I never liked the CL-S rims, personally. To me they looked like a rounded off TL-S rim and it wasn't an appealing change. I'd stick with the TL-S rims if you are doing this for looks. If you want wider tires, of course, the CL-S rims have a half-inch width advantage.

EDIT: Just saw you said you have always liked the look of the CL-S rim. Well in that case, I can see no reason why not to swap if that is your preference. BTW, your friend has good tastes.

CL-S rims FTW. I read and saw some pics somewhere here that they have slight differences in spoke design, or something like that. Not all that noticeable. Plus, that .5" extra width is always good.
