usually they are just plain metal by the nut holes and don't have bbs stamped on the reverse, these wheels however have both so to the untrained eye I reckon it's pretty tricky to tell, although I'm sure I shall be proven wrong!

Where are you getting the center caps from? I need some for mine...

Will Gill · 4 Oct 2011 at 16:03

bmw

68mm OEM badges

Cosimo · 4 Oct 2011 at 16:09

They will look much better when those are fitted.

I have the old ones which fit, but they are rather tatty, same goes for the wheel stickers, as such I shall eagerly await the postman

Do BMW even make wheels that look the same as these ??

As that spoke pattern is a BBS design

I doubt BMW actually make any wheels, in this case BBS OEM the CSL alloy for BMW

but yes it's a standard option within the bmw catalogue

Wonder if there any difference in price between buying them from a BMW dealer VS a BBS dealer

MeAnBoY · 4 Oct 2011 at 17:13

Are these the popular CSL reps that are posted on most BMW forums?

From what I remember most people haven't had a problem with them and rated a pretty nicely. Obviously the fact that they are pretty cheap helps.

I think they look great, congrats.

Will Gill · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:20

here is a before and after kind of shot, probably notice a few more little upgrades, I also did ultinion ds2 lights and 501 sidelights but didnt turn them on

the wheels are using 12mm spacers btw just in case you wondered, oh and i shoved one of the old centre caps on one wheel, just coz

ganesh · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:33

New wheels look bloody awesome, much better than the old ones, good choosing.

TaKeN · 4 Oct 2011 at 18:34

The wheels appear to stick out of the arches slightly more at the front... or is it just me?

I'll update this tomorrow when I get them fitted, but thanks to some desperate skiiers I managed to flog two three year old ski suits for an utter fortune!

G suit?! Do they want any more

precisely right! one brand new g suit and one brand new air raid suit, I got just over £880 for both of them, bloody insane! I still have the air raid and g suits I wore for my last few seasons, although they are pretty knackered (read stained with jaeger

) so I doubt I'd get the same for them. I nearly just through them out, lucky i checked the box!
