Genuine CSL Wheels - What's the big deal?
I never liked the 224 and as I got closer to buying a Z4M I swore they’d be the first things to go. However, with time I’ve come to really appreciate them as they really suit the car.Simon 3.2M wrote: Thu Dec 05, 2024 10:43 pm I like my 224s

If you could get a set of 19s with more aggressive offsets I’d be tempted by them over the CSL!

So that’s the same technology as the lower cost Apex ARC-8s like I have…I know mine’s not a Z4M..Mr Tidy wrote: Thu Dec 05, 2024 11:25 pm R60BBA said of OE CSLs "The wheels are flow-formed cast, which means that they maintain the strength of a fully forged wheel, but are much lighter."

I like CSLs but when I met up with 5 other Z4 owners shortly after lockdown 3 of us had Reps and one had OEs.beanie wrote: Thu Dec 05, 2024 11:42 pmI never liked the 224 and as I got closer to buying a Z4M I swore they’d be the first things to go.

They were so common that when someone a mile or so from me was selling a set of 224s I bought them to be different!
If only Z4Ms had rear wheels like Z3Ms.
