Alloys - CSL or MV4 on Black E92 - Opinions wanted

Hyper Silver 18" CSL's reps or original silver 19" MV4's.

Basically I bought the CSL's for my 46 from ********. Took em off my 46 and put it on my black 92.

Can't decide which looks better as I love both. The MV4's have mismatched tyres on from the previous owner and lots of kerbing so will have to buy a set of tyres and refurb if I keep them. The CSL's have fresh tyres on which I put on not so long ago and more or less new.

I know everyone has their own taste but I wanted opinions from you guys to help me decide.

Having troubles uploading pics from my phone but managed to get 2 up.

Okay thanks for your opinions guys, decided to keep the MV4's and get rid of the CSL's.

Going to do a full respray on the car to freshen up the paintwork and get rid of all the dents and scratches and refurb + paint the alloys - Gun metal grey. So will be sticking the CSL's for sale soon. Money is tight so cant afford to buy new alloys at the moment maybe in the near future

How much does a full respray cost these days? As you are getting rid of dents and scratches and keeping the car the same colour it wont be too horrific?

Not too much for me as its a relatives garage, but he said will let me know once he sees the car and what needs doing as there are some damages that needs to be sorted out too.

Will let you know once I get a price. Also just to add they have touched alot of high performance cars the most recent being a Skyline, so I know it won't be a cowboy job

I have both of those sets of wheels myself although the CSL's are in 19", like yourself I can't decide which I prefer but it doesn't matter as keeping both sets anyway. I do think at times though that even in 19" the CSL's look smaller than the MV4's.
