The place behind the zed is called Prestige Wheel Centre. Isn't that the same place mentioned in last week's now infamous tyre brand thread?

Yeah you guys are right, not good. I thought it was that they looked too big in that picture, but its not just that, they is too much going on, lots of spindly spokes reflecting to much - busy busy.

Shame I didn't ask your opinions before I went and bought that number plate :poke:
2006 Lotus Exige S
2006 E61 535d M-Sport Touring

Like the plate too :thumbsup:

Quite apart from the fact these are awful wheels, remember you have to clean them... My hands would ache after doing these :cry:

If I could find a decent set of geniune CSL's with tyres for that I'd be all over them. I'd definitely prefer CSLs.
Erm... I don't think You're looking hard enough :P

Sorry, but I read through another thread on here tonight about how to spot genuines CSLs, and these are not genuine - no 'BMW' stamped on the wheels between the centre cap and the M badge... If I can find the thread quickly I'll post a link here.

EDIT - found it, in another of M@r]{'s threads :D : http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic ... 7s#p180451

You're right to be wary but this is where due diligence comes in. Just ask the sellers to send you pics of the inside of the wheels and close ups of the relevant areas. Good Luck :thumbsup:
