I’m also seriously considering getting some 18” CSL reps for my roadster. I just think that 19s are proportionally too big for the e85, although they work better on e86s.

A few of pics I found on wth net. All 18s:

Thanks for these!

I agree, i think the 18s suit the car better but that being said i think the M suits the 19’s, maybe because of the fatter looking front end

Yes, but there is a reason. They do look good. I nearly bought some for my E89 before deciding on some refurbished 230s. I still hanker after the CSLs though and probably will be tempted in the future to try some.

Apex Arc-8 are a really nice 18” CSL alternative if you like that style. They are CSL price, unfortunately, but are easier to get hold of and arguably superior, from a technical perspective.

18” CSLs look really odd if you are used to seeing 19” CSLs (or reps) on a Z4, but I’m not sure that should bother anybody since we’re quite a special bunch, after all. :crazydude:

Suggest more discerning... find people refer to someone as ‘special’ when they’re inferring they have a social problem... & think that’s furthest from the truth of those here

Apologies if you (or anybody else) took offence. I can only speak for myself, of course.
