OK...I'll give you an opinion but you're not going to like it. I do not like pure black wheels...it reminds me of a police cruiser. Also, you spend a lot of money on wheels and with a black wheel the detail is completely lost. I like a black wheel with polished accents to me it perfectly complements the silver accents on your beautiful black coupe (I also own a black coupe picked my screen name before I bought...could not resist the shiny black). Sorry but you asked!

black car with chrome lipped/brushed aluminum face looks the best IMO.

Not a CL owner (wish to be one day), but I would not go with those wheels. They do detract from the elegance of the car. IMO it makes the car look like the owner bought over his means.... Please do not take that as a put down.
