Picked up a new set of rims this week..... New style 19 inch CSL's with Cooper(avon)2XS tyres, 8.5 235/35's on the front & 9.5 265/30's on the rear.
I think they give the car a great stance & they are so quiet compared to the runflats. Pete.. :wink:

Yes they definately "bring out" the front grille. Look interesting as not seen those fitted before. :thumbsup:

Not sure theyre CSL wheels though.
 
Can you get a picture just for the wheel?

Your wheels look like this:

rims look very nice!!! black z4 w/ red seats like mine :thumbsup:

going over bumps must be a b!+ch. but i assume all the positives about the change outweigh the negatives?

As for the ride, I've got to say there's better than the runflats,smoother & much less road noise..!
My only concern was how wide they are at the rear,but after jacking the car upon opposite corners the tyres just fit under the arches ok.

A quick mention for Mike at Wheelmania,Hagley road west,Birmingham,who took the time to offer help & advice with a genuine interest in the car,top bloke...

Pete...
 
ah yes, if u r comparing w run flats, then anything is potentially better :P

lots of nice comments here. perhaps i will post some pics of my rims eventually as well :D

once again, good taste in rims. nice upgrade!
 
Looking good !....love the red & black combo of your car..one of the best colour combinations in my opinion.
 
They look like a 19 inch version of the 18" offered on the e92 M3 (if that makes sense!) Although the M3 comes with them in gun metal.

Looking good though :thumbsup:
