Having debated for weeks about what wheels to go for I finally crumbled and went for the good old csl reps.

Got them from Mark at BMAuotosport and am really pleased with them. A real pleasure to deal with and were delivered the next day

I went for the Hyper Silver finish in 19x8et34 on the front with 225/35/19 Falken 452 tyres, and 19x9et37 with 265/30/19 falkens on the rear.

I have had no issues with rubbing so far though I haven't driven far yet. I will report back when I cover a few more miles. I'll also upload a few proper pics (not from my phone) once I get the centres and m stickers sorted out.

Big thanks (and a shameless plug) to Nick at Sterling Services in Stockton for fitting them for me!

Looks good. I was going to get some CSL reps but didn't want the extra effort to clean all the cracks in the CSL alloys
 
Looks really nice, I'm not normally a fan of hyper silver but works very well with the silver body. Good job! :thumbsup:
 
That's the problem! The centres need a 55mm BMW sticker which don't seem to be a standard BMW size. I bought a set off eBay (from the only seller that had some) and I'm not impressed with the quality to be honest.

Any advice on this would be much appreciated.

I have the same problem, my centre caps are 71mm and there aren't any BMW versions out there. I had considered some stickers from eBay - were the ones you bought the slightly "domed" versions? And what was wrong with the quality?
 
These look bloody brilliant. I'm in the market for some myself, same colour on my black 3.0.

Do you mind me asking what you paid for them with the tyres?
 
They seem slightly domed with a resin covering. It's more the print which I'm not happy with, the blue is completely the wrong shade and the silver cross hair is completely missing! They might not look too bad on but next to the genuine ones they look terrible!

very nice - keep well away from curbs and pot holes

Thanks for all the nice comments.

I just wanted to make sure I posted the wheel and tyre sizes to help anyone else who's looking at wheels and wondering what will and won't fit. I found this site do useful when choosing what to go for!

I was concerned about the hyper silver myself but I'm really happy with the look. I actually like the contrast with the silver bodywork.

I've taken a few more pic's but the weather is pants today.
