i own a e36 328 sport with 18 inch csl alloys. but i also have the original 17 inch bbs split rims, the car came with 18's on it and i got the 17's in the deal when i bought the car, i am undecided what looks better original or csl????

any thoughts/opinions cheers

i reckon ill need to get 2 wheels refurbed, and ill need 4 new tyres, but selling the 18's which have brand new dunlop rubber on them should free up some cash, i also just recently removed my air restrictor from the air box (good call by the way) but have an induction kit ready to fit, will this spoil the straight 6 growl?????

nice one ill go ahead with the induction kit, i am also worried about the dreaded nikasil problem, i have read about checking the rear of the block too look for a pear shaped metal plate, this only appears in the steel blocks but i cannot see/find what they are talking about, car has done 77000k and seems to run fine. any one know where exactly to look cheers

i am new too this and cant seem to upload photos?? how do i go about it. and although i am pretty sure i'll be putting the BBS wheels back on the car, it doesn't look as bad as most bmw's with aftermarket alloys,
