New alloys on my car (pics)

What a boring thread and a very unimaginative choice of wheels but I like them so here we go

Rotty · 3 Mar 2008 at 14:03

photo of it on EVO2 19s

and to complete the set - very scabby 18s ( these were like this when I bought them I haven't curbed them

)

I think that is down to the slope on my drive , if you look one side it looks like that but the other side doesn't

size is hardly any different

at the first set (earliest)

at the second set

at the third set

Did BBS make those wheels for BMW?

I didn't realise till I got them but they do have BBS stamps on the inside

I have always had 19 EVO2s on it, the 18s are just a spare set which I put on as the old tyres were bald and I had to wait a while for the new wheels to arrive

Top wheels are the best tbh Rotty

Really do like the CSL wheels, are they a factory fit option on the M3 or did they only come on the CSL?

That road looks *really* familiar; I may have an aquaintance who is a neighbour of yours...

Gaygle · 3 Mar 2008 at 14:18

I love the ones in the first pics...

Think the ones second in the 5th pic are far too common (every bloody beemer seems to have them)

and don't like the ones in the 6th set - too "bling"

They only came on the CSL and you need a CSL chassis number in order to buy them from a dealer.

Looking good Rotty. Has the weight saving made any noticeable difference to the handling?

they only came on the CSL, the CS had similar looking ones that but aren't the lightweight ones

dunno, not driven it :rolleyes:

the CSLs look amazing on the Z4 coupe but not sure if they fit other models apart from the M

Shut up! You're right, due to the offset they will only fit onto the M. I almost bought a set until I found this out. 4x front wheels will fit on but they would look stupid without the dish at the back.

Replicas are the only other option but they just don't look the same and they're much heavier too.
