As much as I like the 261s I reckon the 194s would have looked just as good!

But everyone seems to be obsessed with fitting the biggest wheels possible these days.

I really like them on the E9x cars but I appear to be in the minority!

I found a picture of them fitted to a back coupe in Russia and thought they looked brill but I bottles it after literally everyone said no.

Yes 19" CSLs do seem to be common change.
I'm deperate to try some 17" on the coupe as a test to see if they fit over the big brakes.
If they do fit, then i'd be tempted to change to some of the forged 17" style 157.
