ugh look at the SUV look on that thing. Rims are that bad. If the spokes on the wheel were a bit longer the it wouldn't be so bad. But I agree with those who said that the Type-S lost it's classy look.

Me Likes!

I luvs the NSX... The 1st Gen CL-S Is the best set-up by far! The star 17's where the best rims ever made by Acura besides the TL-S rims and the Acura Legend GS rims...

Yeah, the new CL wheels suck bigtime. I thought they were growing on me, but now that I see them from afar again my initial disgust is reaffirmed.

That CL looks so boring

Why the hell couldn't they slap a bodykit on it for the sake of sportyness? Hell, even throwing mudflaps and wheel trim would have made it look less plain.

Notice how raised the car looks, and how small the wheels look. they def need to redo suspension. Also the cl has no edges whatso ever. Just seems to flow, but not classy, just plain.

They should have the released the SEMA CL with 6-speed... and every civic ricer out there would go bankrupt just to buy one....

Imagine dual tone leather.. the bodykit that you are all dying for, nice exhaust tips... etc.....

That I would call a smart move forward...

poor choice of wheels

I also agree that the 17 inch wheel style is unfortuate. The design somehow does make them seem like 16s. But I'll live with it for the 6 speed.

The new 2003 CL, is that considered a 3rd Generation CL? I like my 2001 better.

Don't even know where to start. BORING.....I guess, like most anyother car, a lot of mods are going to be needed to meet individual desires etc. There's a lot of possibilities with this car, don't forget. New rims...new suspension...CAI...muffler tips....you'd be set....just like, for the most part, the '01. I think the silver is boring and doesn't scream out to consumers....they should have thrown an agean blue at them or the always gorgeous black.

NSX....YUMMY (get rid of the SUV wheel gap though...kinda strange IMO)
