bargain? i suppose they are reps then. THe original ones aren't really cheap. Is it a staggered set with the same measurements as the original ones? Where did you get yours?

Yeah they're reps but the OEM ones aren't great quality and are about £1700 a set without tyres..........I bought these from CM wheels, they are a sponsor on the M3Cutters forum.
They are staggered 19s but the offsets are different from the M3 anyway so these are the exact fitment for the non M Coupe.

These are the same size I have on my CSLs though mine are assymetric 2s. Have put the 3s on my work horse but would be interested in the performance of them on your zed as they seem to have a more curve sidewall on my work car so less contact patch.

I had CSLs on my previous zed, combined with lower springs and shocks. I never adjusted the camber at the rear, but I should have: when the tyres died, the inner parts were bald and the outer parts looked almost like new. I also had 255 instead of 265 as I had rubbing issues. But without lowering, with the standard suspension, the car looked more like suv with those large wheels, lol. So lowering was really necessary, but I took it too far.

Looks real good, not decided on the suspension yet, without a doubt mine will look better lowered but I don't want to ruin the ride and make it undriveableTruth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 8:58 amThese are the same size I have on my CSLs though mine are assymetric 2s.

But apart from running the risk of scraping the spoiler etc, what’s the benefit of lowering the car?
I can understand if the car for whatever reason sits too high, but I fail to see the benefit of running the risk of it sitting to low.
Perhaps it’s an age thing

A little lowering provides better cornering, too much lowering provides issues, lol

Lol...........there are several benefits but I'm with you on the age thing, it can make them a right pain to drive with a bone shattering ride.........for me I'm looking for the right balance of handling, comfort and aestheticsPhoenixboy wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 12:07 pmPlease excuse my ignorance,Tyreman wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 11:11 amLooks real good, not decided on the suspension yet, without a doubt mine will look better lowered but I don't want to ruin the ride and make it undriveableTruth wrote: ↑Sat Feb 17, 2018 8:58 am These are the same size I have on my CSLs though mine are assymetric 2s.
