Posted: Mon Nov 12, 2018 9:13 am
Hey Guys,
Just wanting some opinions and possibly pics (as it's very hard to find images of z4 coupes on style 230 and 225s), I have the opportunity of picking up one of the following wheels to replace my e90 m3 rep wheels. The prices are -
Style 230 - ~$6-700 Australia Dollars, no tyres, perfect condition no marks etc, genuine 19x8 et37 19x9 et39
Style 225 - ~$1200 AUD, runflats, good condition, same specs as the 230's I believe
CSL reps - $800, come with bald tyres, one wheel has a dent which will need fixing (~$200) and additionally I don't think the fronts are the same brand reps as the rears... The specs are 19x8.5 et40 and 19x9.5 et45.
I love the look of csl wheels (although a lot of BMWs here have them and everyone would know they are replica wheels), given the options which wheel would you guys choose? I'm kinda tempted towards the style 230s as they are rare'ish by the looks of things, bbs made and a hell of a lot easier to clean than all other wheels (including my e90 m3 reps which are horrendous to keep clean lol). I think the 230 and 225's weigh about the same, I reckon the e90 reps I have weigh the most and have absolutely no idea how much csl reps weigh...
