Original CSL rims or Replica type?

[samhun]

Dream to have an E46 CSL but price tag isn't my budget, so Looking around to have some CSL look on my E46 4 doors. This will be my first CSL option :yes: Any idea where to get these CSL Rims? Replica will be good. Thanks :yes:

Better get the replica as the original M3 rims will not fit your car unless you are willing to roll (more like knock) your fenders as the offset and rim width is way off the standard car's. Actually, you can get a set of BBS RC perhaps as they are really light (can lift vertically with one hand) and nice.

You mean BBS RX.

 

[Vanquish]

Yeah ... the RX is closest visually to the CSL rims ... but I think some replica versions are already in the market ... Happy hunting !

 

[wirelessjunkie]

RX is heavy dudes. The RC is lightweight.

 

[Vanquish]

WJ ...

Since he wants the CSL look ... then the RX will fit the bill la. But yes ... it's not exactly a light wheel ... the RC rules in that dept.

Well you cant buy the ori CSL rims as its specially made for the CSL. In order to buy a set you need to send you Ori E46CSL Vin no to verify. This is for the exclusivity. Even the newly launch E46 M3 sports or something like that has a look alike but not as light.

So like WJ says get the BBS or find a replica.

Where weight is concerned i thought it was the RK that took the cake on that.

This isn't the CSL Look at all, look closely you u'll find CSL rims has longer spoke and which are 16 spoke on each rim.

Vanquish:
Other thn Replica, yes the RX may has the closest look except the Center Cap+hole which is bigger. but if there are Replica out there, i wouldn't mind of getting it. :yes:

It used to be. Now places like RevoZport got access to both the Ori and Replica too.

Even the replica also look very real n light now.

weight less than 24lbs each.

Oh btw, BBS CH does come with the "Motorsports" wording.
