Ive been told the original csl's dont work with the e90, even from someone who was trying to sell real ones on ebay.

cntlaw · 02-04-2007, 09:15 PM

The shorter LM spokes means a 19" does not visually look as big as it is, this might be an issue for someone likes his rims look as big as possible, or I would definitely go for the Japan forged LM or LM-R.

dawgdog · 02-05-2007, 09:14 AM

The LMs are great looking wheels but not particularly light. Have you considered the Ch and RS-GTs? The Chs are quite a bit less money, and the RS-GTs are somewhat less money and weigh less.

Looks like I'm in the minority on this one, but I've always really loved the way the CSLs look on the E46 M3 and I think they look great on the E90 as well....the $3,000 you keep in your pocket looks pretty good too.

Where is the best place to buy the CSLs - replicas or real ones. I guess when we say "real CSL" we really mean the ZCP or whatever the competition package was that was offered on the '06 M3 right?

LJ35DRVR · 02-08-2007, 06:08 AM

I'm with TT

I prefer the look of the CSL's at any cost. If the LM's didn't carry the BBS name, and the two wheels were side by side with no pricetag (kind of like a blind taste-test,) I'd definitely go with the CSL's. Those things are dope.

I know the LM's are a better, and stronger wheel but imo I think the csl just looks much better. my .02

Every other car I see nowadays has painted wheels...IMHO it's not more aggressive...it's just overdone.

Be different, original, and timeless.

Try something different...like...the GT-R 2pc. below.

I'm just sayin' tho

Yeah, my friend had the "ferrari style" chrome stars on his brand new '90 240sx slammed with 100 hp NOS jets and BORLA exhaust...just the memory of that car was what got me lookin around just to see what else was out there.

Momo actually used to be cool. People wearing Momo shirts around, dudes with ford escorts sporting their shift knobs, etc...etc...

CSL Replicas with a silver finish.

The LM's would be black with a polished lip.

If you want 19" BBS LMs, we have that style wheel here:

no doubt the bbs lm but the price difference is crazy

EUROE90 · 11-01-2011, 12:42 PM

very nice

crqflier · 11-08-2011, 10:40 PM

Admittedly biased - RS GT. Super light weight and strong forged. RGR is an amazing 1 piece forged - had them on my M3. CH are heavy. LM look great but also heavy. If you care about performance, you'll notice the difference.
