I have a interlagos blue z4M with currently a set of e46 m3 alloys but i want to go for a set of csl's but i cant make up my mind which colour do you guys think suits the colour of the car better. I, currently drawn to either the oem silver look or black chrome but can't make up my mind.
csl's which colour?

Yep! shadow chrome is the one 
Searching high and low and have found one guy on the m3cutters forum that has been selling these just waiting to get accepted so i can contact him if all else fails i might just go for these http://www.bmautosport.co.uk/showroom/product_info.php/new-spoke-alloys-matt-anthracitevery-deep-concave-rear-p-412?cPath=51_27_135_47.
Go OEM

I really liked shadow chrome but it is hit and miss where you have it done. It also looks great in bright light but a bit dingy in low light. Go OEM especially with interlagos blue because the OEM colour contrasts very well and shadow chrome imo just wont, dark wheels on a blue car doesnt look good imo.
Here are some pics from another members car which looks incredible IMO.

Saw this car at Z-fest looked amazing, especially with its colour coded rear spoiler. It was also spotless.
Shadow chrome looks great on certain colours but not as great on interlagos. Heres shadow chrome on a imola Z4M

Also get some real CSLs its sacrilege putting reps on an M.

Csl's look great but so do the oem 18's. I was torn on choice of colour when I refurbed mine. Was thinking shadow chrome but they (and the car) have to be kept really clean for a good effect. A bit of brake dust and they'll look like terribly dirty wheels.
Stuck to my M oem 18's because those csl's look like a pain to keep clean.
Interlagos and silver wheels would be my choice.

To throw a spanner in the works....
