CSL Replica wheels
Discussion
Does anyone know where you can get 19" CSL replicas that will fit a standard (non M) Z4 for sensible money?
ca-automotive do them but at £1,339.00 for a set with tyres that does seem a tad expensive for what are replicas after all.
They would need to have the 'deep dish' wider rears.
Cheers!

We paid almost £1200 for a set of 19 inch Schnitzer style rims and decent tyres. These would be made in higher volumes than CSL replicas so the price premium is probably reasonable.
Stating the obvious but dont skip on tyre quality - a friend of mine did on his 1.8T golf on a set of 'bargain' replicas and he ended up changing the tyres after a month of going sideways in the wet.

According to the M-style website you can buy 18" CSL replicas which includes the 'deep dish' rears for £758 with tyres.
18's would look ok, right?
They'll look ok, but you'd spend every day thinking about that extra inch. (Oerr missus)18's would look ok, right?
We went from 18 inch m6 replicas to 19 inch type iv bi colour replicas and there is a very visable difference...
... spend the bit extra - its only £100 a corner more, if you keep the car four years, thats just £25 a year per corner more, or 50p a week, or 7p a day....
Beware with Replica rims though, they are usually incredibly Heavy so can drastically effect the handling & performance - Don't forget BMW spend ££££'s on research and crack testing of their rims too so you may find replica's tend to buckle easily.... Speaking from experience i had 4 seperate Audi RS6 replica wheels buckle on my Mk4 Golf a couple of years back so just be careful and do some research first is all i would say.

I have seen many replica wheels for BMW , MERC and the VAG group ! I have to agree they are very heavy compared to original fitment , quality is no where near as good , seen a few crack badly , alot that have bent and even some brand new replicas that have taken 3 - 4 times the amount of wheel weights to balance correctly against original!My customer with a S4 had RS4 replicas fitted to his car and had a big scary moment when at high speed on a smooth road a tyre suddenly went down like a blow out , it was the wheel a large piece of the rim feel out in the middle even thou we could find no signs of damage to the tyre!
I bought genuine CSL wheel direct from Dealer for £999 inc vat !
Vat at 17.5 not 15 as from today so even cheaper!
I have noticed that even M cars bought direct from BMW dealerships can have replica wheels on them ???

- wee bit lower maybe ?
I'm selling my 18" csl replicas with the wider deep dish rear for £600, I paid £500 for the alloys and £350 for the tyres (800 miles on tyres). Bought from bm autosport, who sell the quality german made ones. One is slightly kerbed, selling as I want to go for the 19" csl reps because I'm not intending to use the car on track.
