Help choosing alloys

[james34]

Hi, i have not had a chance to get a newbie thread up but i will get one up this week.

Just after a bit of help as i want to order some new alloys...

I really like the gun metal grey CSL reps in 18" staggared but i can't seam to find any... so i might have to settle for gloss black and i have found a few options but not sure what ones to go for...

I have a z4 roadster in sterling grey

Welcome. Quite a few wheel topics on here so make use of the search function, will grab a few links for you shortly. I have just purchased 18" CSL reps from BMA and was delighted with the customer service. Its worth noting that the ones BMA sell are actually Riva DTMs. The wheels in your first link look like 1M 359 style reps, I was very tempted by these too.

Thanks mate i will check that out.

Haha I know i should be going for 19s, they do look so much better but i only plan on keeping the zed for the summer so if i get the 18s i can use my tyres i have now

will have to get a project thread up on the weekend as i have done quite a few bits already.

thanks for your advice guys

The ones from BMA are j8 front with et40 and rear j9 with et38 @£450+p&p

comparred to

The ones from ebay which are the same but have an ET40 all round.... not sure if they will look as deep as the BMA ones but then there is a £50 price difference...


What do you guys think?

Mark at BM Autosport will usually offer a forum discount or in my case, a free set of new nuts complete with 4 locking style nuts, and you get great customer service and a courier that gives you a 1 hour delivery slot. 5 star service.

Personally I would buy from BMA or CMWHEELS than some unknown on ebay.

I've been v pleased with these, got a cracking deal on them too. They are hyper silver so a little darker and the offset is about an inch wider than oem setup, so no spacers required either
