The CSLs are original never been refurbed. But my OEMs have been changed to gunmetal. Well I like this Hyper graphite colour so I will do some more digging and hopefully get down to lepsons to have a look. Does anyone no of anyone in the North that are as good in terms of quality as lepsons??
Just a long way to go for me would rather have them done closer to home.

got to be hyper graphite for me, lovely contrast with your body colour.
Thanks for all the kind comments on the car guys. 
I have to say - I don't usually like the OEM wheels, but I have to say they just work in that finish on your car Tom. The picture with one OEM on the rear, and the CSL on the front, makes the CSL look very bland indeed!
The lighting will affect the look here, but it's what you were after...

Cheers for the pics guys. I agree that the CSL does look bland compared to the gunmetal OEMs, but still looks better because I dont like the OEMs. But want to continue the theme because it does make the car look a lot meaner! That pic of your sixspeed looks awesome and the kind of effect im after. But it does depend in the light need to go look at some.
The OEM wheels really aren't special at all and don't do the car justice although I agree that they look the best they possibly could on Tom's car in that colour.
IMO the Z4MC just looks a little bit too pretty as it comes out of the box and needs the CSL's and aero sideskirts to make it more agressive in it's stance. Changing the CSL's to a darker colour just adds to that effect and I wouldn't change back to the original silver. When I initially got one set of wheels done in anthracite, I was alternating them with the silver wheels and found that I couldn't wait to get the darker set back on to the extent that I did the other set in anthracite too.
That said, the original silver finish of the CSL's is really nice and it is of course down to personal taste.
