Yeahh i do agree but i like to keep it pristine...... The winter months would eventually take its tole...... I cant describe the difference in condition to a garaged and used weekends to a dd one, my tts looks 7 years older.... And everything is rusty.... I suppose part of ownership for me is the keeping them like this.... Sad in some way i guess.....

I agree. There's something nice about having a shiny garaged car. When you take it out for a drive on a sunny dry weekend and it's glistening, it's just perfect! They don't seem as special when they're driven everyday and become tired looking so quickly.

Wheels look fabulous btw!

I am looking for a set of CSLs. Another member wants to buy stock rims... maybe we can all do a deal here.

i looked heavily into the volks BUT the sizes they come in a far from ideal on a real enjoyed car!! they will rub or you have to run silly geo settings just to get good fitment, i want properly fitting wheels...... cant get better or stronger than the ga3r......

lol pampered princess!! thats actually sooo true!! lol the pampering is actually part of the ownership of these cars for me, i love the pampering nearly as much as the driving!!

interesting on the Volks, I really thought I might get those or I've got my eyes set on the ACS forged ones. I know all too little about settings, fitments, offsets etc. What do you think?

the offsets and widths are far from ideal for a properly driven car...... for a show queen they will be perfect but for a car that will will be using its suspension travel, braking hard..... not ideal imo....

Very nice choice mate.

Looks wise I think the CSL are still best looking rims for the CSL..Tell me do they cause any rubbing with "proper" driving on the Z4m? As they look MASSIVE on such a small car.

Tell me have you got any times for you car like 0-60.. 0-100 ? 0-150? :P
