well wheels are on!! very very happy with the refurb done by lap tab in the west mids!!

so here are my genuine CSLs refurbed in antracite.

i tell you what i have no idea how some people are running 285 tyres on these rims, the 265s ive got on look very close and as far as id like to go, the 275s must be near rubbing!! lol

also i could not believe the weight difference from these to the stock rims, the stock //m rims felt so heavy compared to the csls!! nice to shed abit of unsprung weight!!

also i went to bmw and got the latest stle centre caps, and also replaced the ///m badges!!

IIRC the weight of the 19 with tire is more or less the same as the 18, so you don't really save anything or nothing worth mentioning anyway

I'm going to dare to buck the trend - I prefer them in their original colour, they just seem to lose that impact that CSL alloys are renowned for.

Just IMO obviously. Enjoy!
