Hi All,
I have a set of genuine, staggered, CSL alloys that I recently acquired but I have had a change of heart and want to go down the APEX route, i've already done the CSL route before on my previous E46 M3.
I bought them from this chap from cutters about 2 weeks ago who I knew previously - his for sale advert with pictures:

A simple list of the Good/Bad points of the alloys:
Good Points:
1. 100% genuine, staggered alloys with correct BBS stamps.
2. Been professionally refurbished by Lepsons (one of the best in the business) in Shadow Chrome approximately 1 month ago at a cost of £600.
3. Have ZERO marks, scuffs or kerbing on all 4 alloys.
4. Supplied with Continental ‘M3’ tyres, not budget.
5. Are balanced.
Bad Points:
1. One alloy has a relatively small crack which has been welded. The alloy is 100% straight and true and drives just fine – Lepsons would not of touched the alloy if it had been any way compromised.
2. Due to a previous shoddy refurbishment, the markings on the front of one of the alloys is faint but still there, and a little bit less on one of the other alloys. The other 2 are perfectly fine. The “important” BBS logo on the back is fine.
3. The tyres are Continental ‘M3’ but are the OEM tyre size for the E46 M3 which is 225 width at the front and 255 width at the rear - The CSL tyres were 235/265. They will drive perfectly fine just the tyre wall has a slight stretch. Also they will need to be changed sooner rather than later.
My asking price which I think is very very fair is what I paid for them - £900, no offers. Due to the size of the alloys, collection only from North London. Please note the information above is what I was told by the seller from cutters and they haven't been fitted to my car.
Thanks very much.
