CSL Wheels

[Das882]

I disagree with that statement, I too have just bought CSL reps (atomic) I would of loved to see get a set of genuine ones but I cannot justify spending almost 2K on them + tyres. As long as there is not a safety issue then what does it matter? ......I would rather spend my money on making sure the car is mechanically the best it can be.

Sound sentiment & i have a set of both genuine & rep in my garage right now & other than the "BMW " stamp near the M logo they are virtually identical in look & build when handling them

Steve is right I haven't fitted them yet. I had a long conversation with Chris at CMWheels and before buying he assured me they were exactly the same dish and offsets (which I still don't understand ) as genuine CSLs . The only difference is that the fronts may sit out about 5mm more than genuine which is fine. As soon as I get them on i will post some pics .

You keeping your 224s Eddie ? Wouldn't mind seeing what they look like on my car, given I'm torn over how to have mine refurbed...

Hi Alan, I'm keeping my 224s as I've spent a lot of money on them. I also like the idea of having another set of wheels.

It's like buying an Armani suit and wearing matalan shoes

And I still wouldn't notice the difference

I have The CM reps on mine and confirm they do sit out slightly more at the front, but that is a bonus as they fill out the front arch very nicely.

Agree in point to reps being cheaper

But after I had some then my life and car was in the hands of reps that cost less than the tyres that wrapped around them
They came off after 3 months or less
I go at v high speed from time to time as I simply didn't trust them to have been as rigerously testes etc etc

And the difference between reps and oem csls quality of finish, looks, weight and security knowing oem.BBS and designed for speed etc is huge
So is cost but that's life I guess

I'll take one tomorrow morning. You wouldn't know there was anything different about them though, they look like the perfect offset and match up nicely with the way back wheels sit in their arch.

Reps or OEM will crack with the right incident. You could buy reps and get them painted at half the price of OEM. Weight saving ?...

My replicas balance up spot on, kerb just the same (arghhh) and 99% of people never ever know...

I'd get some reps and spend a grand on second hand coil overs
