Great stuff Tom. They look Ace, if I'm ever with a spare £1500 I'll be looking to get this done.

Did you happen to weigh the CSLs in comparison to the 224's. I've heard conflicting results on which is the lighter wheel.
 
Looks fantastic Tom! :thumbsup:

been trying not to search for 'genuine CSL alloys' on eBay and other sites as I want to keep money aside for some PSS tyres this year.....but you have now made it even harder for me....the car looks spot on! is your MC lowered?

Cheers for the comments, I know the wheels are common as muck on the forum, but in the flesh they're special to me :wink:

Cheers Andy! Yes, she didn't treat me well in the beginning. There are a few issues at the moment actually but I've just been too busy to get it seen to :oops:

I'm not sure when I'm next up visitng family but I'll happily compare the weights when I next go!I don't know if it is psychological, but they felt way lighter to hand compared to the 224s with old versions of contact sports.

You know it makes sense, keep your eyes peeled! I was just fortunate that the time of year meant the 450 miles away distance of them worked fine for me luckily. Re:lowering - all standard as far as I'm aware. I was a bit worried that they might not look right on the OEM springs, but it seems ok.

Haha yes yes, Steve you're right, I didnt. Mainly due to being a wimp and it was freezing. Secondly, yes theres a slight bit of "dust" under the arches. Haha. I'm sat in a first floor flat of a townhouse, and thinking actually I could get away with running a hose onto the drive. That's my next mission.
 
Don't think you'll mind me saying it looks like every other Silver Grey with red leather and CSLs. Probably about as much as people mind owning another boring red Ferrari Testarossa.

Stunning. [emoji106]
 
There are conflicting values regarding weights of each wheel. According to my favourite German site (at moment) they are about the same weight 359 vs 224....
