Which wheels do you like better, I can't decide

Actually I like both, M6 reps are a little cheaper. I expect to go non staggered 19X 8.5 with General UHPs

They are actually CSL wheels...not CLS.

I think CSL wheels look elegant and sporty on the E90.

The 5 spoke look of the M6 looks almost too aggressive for the E90. If you go that route, I would feel that you have to get a big brake kit to complete the "look".

If you don't plan on getting a BBK...then I say CSL.

On a coupe, I prefer the M6s. You can't go wrong either way but I think the M6s work really well on a coupe.

We will have both types in stock and ready to go by early next week.

I like the CSL's and the M6 Reps; both look great on the E92. However, I ultimately chose the M6 Reps b/c they do look great and I figured the CSL's were kind of a pita to wash and keep clean; so far, I'm finding that the silver/gunmetal M6 Reps are very easy to wash and they seem to look cleaner that they really are (maybe b/c of the painted gunmetal color inside)...now I don't have to get my car washed just b/c the wheels are so dirty.

Tough call, I think CSL's are like the next timeless wheel. M6's do really look good on the E90 however. So its a tough call between the two. But agh one vote or the other....
