As the title says i have bought a new 2008 CL9 Euro Lux Nav in silver today.

First thing is tinting and then wheels. Anyone have any suggestions for new wheels? I'm not a huge fan of the 17" stockies.

Congratulations!

Personally, I'd go 18x7.5+48 on the CL9 mate. That way it not only look great, but you still have some ride quality. The 18's shouldn't effect performance too much either, depending if you go for race style or chromies. I'd also drop it 1-2 inches.

I have always had dark windows so likely 20% to 25%. It allows you to do some perving too :eek:

Nice. Ozzy tyres has 'Ozzy racing 068' that look like those for cheap. I was going to get these for my CL9.

Ozzy tyres.Nooooooooo.:thumbdwn:Go with 18s or do what i did,just change the rims and stay with 17s.I sold my OEM rim back to the tyre place i bought my rims from and only had to pay $60 to fit and balance the new rims.

Any reason in particular?

When the time comes, I was going to get mine through Taleb Tyres (OH trader!) or Tempe Tyres.

I have taken a liking to Lenso Tenso GF7's, Enkei GTC01's, Lenso Katana ZR5's.

just heard alot of problems that they chuck on wheels without knowin' the offset and stuff and they assume that they fit right.
you end up out of pocket, they end up happy, you end up with more problems. END OF STORY

Those Ozzy 068's look really nice in Shadow and I also like the 080's as well. :thumbsup:

Do you know what sort of price they were doing the 068's for? Was it a wheel and tyre package or just wheels?

Thanks
