Those wheels in 21" would look nice on the LX, GX, and perhaps even the RX, but squeezing them onto a passenger car would look absurd.

i have seen this rim in a 20" version on a CL500 and it looked a bit small..i think it has something to do with the rim not having much "face", unlike the magnifique.

most 3-piece rims look smaller than actual, but a 21" probably wouldn't fit, and that one inch might make it look goofy. 20" on a GS looks fine, but a 21" looks very funny somehow

as far as 21" on a CL, i recall the S can't take 21" very well either

The only passenger car that does well with 21" or bigger, IMHO, is the current BMW 7 series.

21" looks awsome my Friend has 21" Chrome Giovanna Dramas on his White 98 Gs 300 and they look good I want some. They look Perfect! I have 20" Armano Dunamis Chrome and I think they look a bit small to Me. The other Day I saw the New BMW 7 series on 22" Giovannas So My rims Probably looked Like 18" next to his car. You know what they say Bigger is Better!
