CSL Atomics Vs Riva's - NOW WITH WHEEL WEIGHTS!!

[markprz86]

Just spoken to both BM Autosport and CM Wheels regarding CSL replicas. Both have been very helpful and offered forum discount.

I didn't realise this, however, that the CM Wheels CSL's aren't the same as BM Atuosport Atomics. (my mistake)

I thought hey both stocked Atomic wheels (made in Taiwan), that were just at different price points.

CM Wheels are £510.00 delivered
BM Autosport are £615.00 delivered


Would the extra price mean better quality? I've seen a lot of posts from people expressing "You get what you pay for"

From what I can work out, Atomic went bust or at least disappeared for a while last year. Perhaps if this is correct there is old stock left?

I payed 6 something for mine from Bm Autosport. Can’t fault the wheels besides paint as per my other post above.

If they are the same sizes you could find out if there’s a difference in weight?

EDIT: viewtopic.php?f=7&t=99030&p=1450019&hil ... l#p1450019

Nearly sold them as they rubbed until I chanced putting a set of 255’s on (now rub free). Thought it might help to see pics of them fitted

Thanks for the pics & link.
However, the car won't be lowered as mentioned before. So I assume this problem wont happen or will be far less.

Weights:
Original OEM CSL: Front: 10.9kg Rear: 11.56kg (figures found on google)
BM Autosport Atomic CSLs: approx 11kg per wheel (not the most accurate answer, working on a better one)
CM Wheels CSLs: Front: 11.2kg Rear: 12.9kg per wheel

A NICE WEIGHT SAVING ON THE BM AUTOSPORT RIVA CSL WHEELS

Riva usually 8j 9j , Atomic 8.5j 9.5j , on Si i would go for the Riva for this reason alone , if you do decide the wider widths work for you then pay the extra for the Veemann FS34 quality is a massive step up for not much more spend , ive had the others & currently have the 34s

Wow
