Sapphire black with CSL’s

[Sgr74]

Does anyone have pictures of an e85 roadie in sapphire black with 18” CSL’s on it?
Can’t decide.
Thanks

Csls look good on pretty much every zed. But they're a bit played out.

Go for 19's

Picture below is 18's

Did you notice a considerable difference in the ride quality from going from 18" to 19" wheels? Whilst i would love 19" alloys i am not sure i can handle a much harder ride than my Zed is currently giving me (that is even with swapping to non-RFT - despite it greatly improving the ride quality to be fair).

It's definitely a bit harder on 19's but it comes down to the state of the roads. On a flat smooth road it's absolutely fine, on pot hole ridden roads it does crash around but it would on 18's also.

Also consider tyre prices. Frightening money on that CSL fitment.

Depends what you class as "frightening money" :? a set of Kumho or Uniroyal RS3 should be around £450 fitted , a touch more for Hankooks & all will feel a massive improvement over the Bridgestone runflats

Not much in it between 18-19

Have you got the 18s right there? Aren't they 35's? £142 for Michelins (bought some the other day) I think £60 a pair is quite a lot imo. The Yoko's were something like £105 each.

Frightening

I had 224 18s standard fitment tyres on my Z4M with MPS and OEM 19" CSLs also standard fitment on Vreds but I had H&Rs installed which gave it a very crashy ride but handling was much improved.

No discernible difference in ride.

They may be done to death but cant beat CSLs IMO.

As has been pointed out already, you've compared 255/35/19 to 255/40/18.

255/40/18's are quite a bit more (£35 on camskill) than the correct 255/35/18 tyres.
