Need you thoughts People (Wheels)

creepy coupe · 02-04-2008, 05:23 AM

As some may have heard RFT on the E92 don't do much for it's handling and ride (just ask Roofer)

I have been looking for some 225M style to keep everything original to the E92, but found people are asking silly money WHEN you can find some for sale.

I also really fancy a set of 19" CSL's and have found a chap who can offer some originals with Pilot Sport 2's or Conti 2's, so the question is what do you think of the look, are the wheels dated and not right for the E92?
Examples below are the closest I could find the Le Mans blue

Mine at the moment

are u talking abt the OEM CSLs cos they wont fit mate. well they will fit but the back will rub even on stock springs.

THR Doc · 02-04-2008, 05:26 AM

Creepy m8,

I think the CSL alloys (the first 2 pics, I hope

) look really nice and aggressive, lending the car a mean look.

I would say, go for it!!

G33 · 02-04-2008, 05:34 AM

lol been busy. look on pistonheads classifieds BMW parts theyre on there, ave been for ages. im thinking of gunmetal CSLs actually but theyre in a non ideal offset - not the velocity motoring ones, which is wat i want.

Just looked and couldn't find them

G33 · 02-04-2008, 05:46 AM

look harder!

anyhows i decided it aint worth me selling as i will need them when i sell the car, ill probably just fork out the big ones if im really going to get some of these wheels its just that ive got other priorities right now

Hotcoupe · 02-04-2008, 05:57 AM

Del,I think they look really good,I've yet to see a E92 with CSL's on.
As a matter of interest how much are the CSL's you are talking about.
You going down the staggered route?

Interestingly I spent the wk/end cleaning and polishing my 225's,there going back on while one of my G-Powers gets a spot of TLC:

creepy coupe · 02-04-2008, 06:47 AM

Come on HC sell me your 225's and or do me a trade with my 195's and a lump of cash

G33 · 02-04-2008, 06:51 AM

I think for me its either CSL replicas or 189s. The CSLs look great.

AlanQS · 04-26-2008, 04:57 PM

In answer to your original question, I don't think they look old fashioned at all but they'll be a bitch to clean which is why I switched to 230s (amongst other reasons

).

They look particularly good on Le Mans Blue cars.

Thats looks fantsatsic, i'm still toying with the idea of a small drop and then gunmetal 19" CSL on my E90 ......

Any idea where I could source gunmetal CSL reps from ....

jasongtr · 04-27-2008, 03:08 AM

ebay, i am waiting for mine should get them mid week (although i decided not to go for gunmetal due to the colour of my car)
