Keep the lip or change to csl?

kuvesh · 09-13-2008, 11:47 AM

currently i have a chrome lip on my rims. its driving me crazy because its collects dirt so easy and i dont have time during the week to keep it clean.

i'm thinking of changing to a csl style rim. had them on my old e46 m3, they didn't require as regular cleaning and they looked great with the concavity of the rears.

thoughts?

i posted some pics of my current rims...

I definitely agree that the chrome lips do have an issue when it comes to accumulating dirt. Also with a chrome lip, the car doesn't look as aggressive as it would with the CSLs. The CSLs for the VMR V710s would make your car very, very aggressive looking. It'll match the Hamann sides, diffuser and exhaust very nicely. Let me know if you need a set of wheels, we got them in stock!! BTW, awesome looking E92!!!

Get the CSLs!!!!

I would go with the CSLs, I think they look sportier on the E92 and I prefer a non-lipped/concave wheel.

Which is the CSL replica with the most concavity in 19"?

I think lips are over rated.
Get the csl.

The VMRs offer a lot of concavity in the rear in either an ET33 or ET22 (E90 Sedans only).

how close is the super silver on the VMR's to the Oe bmw silver wheel colour?

BTW wat wheels are those i've got the exact same on E90

Clearly it is all a matter of preference. I think wheels without lips look horrible and like stock wheels. IMO fat lips in the rear of a car are the definition of aggressive.
