v710's or csl's... HELP!!!

TwinTurboXI · 06-22-2009, 04:15 AM

Hey everyone,

Im torn between these two wheels on my TiAg e92. I love the way the gunmetal csl's look in the first few pictures. I cant find any silver csl's on a TiAg e92 . But the v710's look amazing as well and are much more agressive. Any imput to help sway my decision would be appreciated.

FYI, Im planning on getting non staggered since my car is an xi and i do rotate the wheels...

John_01 · 06-22-2009, 04:45 AM

CSL rep's look cool.. Especially gun metal in the first pic.

I am not really a fan of the 710's in silver - They are a bit too flash for my taste.

J!M · 06-22-2009, 07:14 AM

I was really torn deciding between these two wheels as well. Except I liked the V710's in gunmetal, and the CSL's in silver.

In the end, I thought that the V710's did look more aggressive, and I wanted a more stock look for my car.

My 18" CSL's should be coming in some time in the next couple weeks.

SpmnE9zero · 06-22-2009, 07:27 AM

Yah the 710's are a little bright imo. I have the CSL's and love them.

chumley · 06-22-2009, 08:02 AM

I've been struggling with the same decision. A month ago I would have said 710's for sure. But the CSL's have grown on me. With the CSL's I think most people would think that they were just great factory wheels. V710's have a bit more edge and definitely look aftermarket (not necessarily a bad thing!).

John_01 · 06-22-2009, 08:12 AM

If you have chrome window surrounds on your car the silver CSL reps would probably be a good match.

Craig@SupremePower · 06-22-2009, 08:49 AM

can't go wrong either way...

golfinz · 06-22-2009, 09:35 AM

Gunmetal CSLs...the first pic look amazing!

david @ eas · 06-22-2009, 01:04 PM

Well if you like the color of the CSL and you like the style of the V710, why don't you just go with the Gunmetal V710s?

ChrisTKHarris · 06-22-2009, 01:13 PM

V710s, leave the CSLs to the E46s.

Too "stock" looking for my taste.

Ron@Modbargains · 06-22-2009, 01:59 PM

Either look great on the car.

It's a tough decision.

This picture might just settle things.

Gunmetal V710s

pdjafari · 06-22-2009, 02:17 PM

I prefer the v710s and plan on running them for winter wheels. Anybody know where we can get matte black v710s w/ a white Time attack??

We are the exclusive carrier of matte black and gunmetal VMR wheels. At the moment we don't have any plans to make time attack rings for these wheels, however you can just buy wheel pinstripe tape and do it yourself.

KkSc · 06-22-2009, 02:32 PM

V710 in matte black or CSL in hypersilver or gunmetal!

This is false. **********s and Acute Performance both carry Gunmetal and Matte Black as well.

Nice try.

**********s does not offer Matte Black nor Gunmetal, yet they list it on their website. However, Acute does purchase from us and are recommended.

No picking fights. To set record straight, yes **********s carried the Matte Black/Gunmetal/Hypersilver V710 - we still carry the Gunmetal and Hypersilver v710 - we've since sold out on the Matte Black and haven't decided to restock and EAS is sitting on probaly the only exclusive stock from Velocity. We do offer it for those who want them made just like some other sponsors offer the service. So both are right it's not an exclusive thing as claimed. Anyway, we've focused on other wheels as well.

But this is all besides the OP's topic, so guys lets get back on the subject and it's a discussion, on what wheel looks best.

I think some clear points were made - CSL's represent classy style that was derived from the E46.
710's are more agressive in their styling, 2 less spokes sharper lines. I think some other factors that one has to consider is how the car is modified as well.
