WTD Front csl rep

Hi all,

Well, after having to have my wheels balanced, i have since found out that one of them is buckled. Joy. So, anyone have one spare? :D
Failing that, anyone know where i can get one for decent price? Pretty sure they are reps anyway, not really looked.

Cheers

Jon
 
Has it suddenly gone buckled or have you hit something :?
You'd be lucky to find a single front rep that matches your et & width
Is it so bad it can't be straightened ?
 
replicas will buckle as there cheap my bbs lm lasted 1yr and 2 were buckled and my Z4 came with csl's on when I bought it I sold them first week having the car as I knew was just cheap replicas

have you checked ebay and rimstyle.co.uk or cmwheels.co.uk or bmauto they should sell singles

No, not hit anything. Guessing they came like that. Started vibrating today only to find that out and brakes are binding, both nearside. Rang the wheel specialist to be told they cant. May pop down.
Spent the best part of £1200 on servicing, breaks and tyres and started to get peed off with it now :cry:
 
Also, what size offsets should i be looking for? Never had to buy alloys for me so its got a little confused :? Even if it means buying a new set. Currently lowered on eibach springs with no spacers.
 
Could be a alternative for you http://www.z4-forum.com/forum/viewtopic.php?f=7&t=88733
Or take a look here for 19s that you could switch your tyres onto http://www.cmwheels.com/

That statement implies every set of replicas will buckle which simply isn't true .
Obviously its a massive market so there are cheap Chinese copies but many other companies produce quality aftermarket wheels at reasonable prices & are no more likely to buckle than OEM wheels imo :?

This... I've seen far more genuine BBS wheels crack or buckle than reps.

No, got my heart set on 19s. Do like the look of these http://www.cmwheels.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_91_93_339&product_id=286 or these http://www.cmwheels.com/index.php?route=product/product&path=60_91_93_339&product_id=1059, maybe even these http://forums.m3cutters.co.uk/showthread.php?t=107334. Don't know the offset of mine unfortunately, but i have 235/35/19 tyres on the front and 265/30/19 which i'd like to swap over as they're nearly new. Can anyone point me in the right direction? :?

I've not from 10yrs of having bmw's plus the bbs your comparing maybe very old as many can be reused over many years be lucjky too get 2 yrs out of replicas before they look crap. Its mainly reps I see on the net crack or buckle but saying that many oem bmw alloys like 313 and mv3's are prone to cracking to. If I had a pound for each time I seen a buckled set of these cheap csl' or bbs copies id be rich

here's another example of some I seen just today might be use full to OP as 2 are buckled 2 are straight wants £200 give him £50 I'm sure these are only 3100 each brand new as can get them for £399 a set in most alloy chops that have reps
