CSL reps or Style 225 M-sport (MV4)

nottsE90 · 11-27-2009, 06:29 AM

Guys,

im currently undecided about which wheels to go for, i think both of the above look really good however i cant figure out which ones to put on my black e90.

any opinions on which ones i should go for, which will suit my e90 more?

im looking to purchase from ebay:

csl reps:

mv4 reps:
http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/19-ALLOY-WHEEL...item5d25dd4713

can someone please make my mind up for me!! lol

I wonder if the 225 reps will be less prone to cracking.

CSL reps mate although I do like MV4s

"THE E90 SERIES PICTURED HAS BEEN FINISHED IN SHADOW CHROME FINISH."

You going for that look?

RagingKileak · 11-27-2009, 06:51 AM

Too expensive for reps.... usually... although as suggested, when you buy BMW, your hardly getting a quality product eh?

hi SiKkBaSs, im swaying more towards the csl's but similar to you i do like the MV4's.

i like the shadow chrome but will be sticking with the stock silver look if i choose the csl's.

would you go for the shadow chrome? will it not look to dark on a black car?

as they're reps and not the genuine 225 wheels im guessing they wont be made of the same materials that are causing the cracking in the genuine bmw ones so they'll probably be less prone to cracking.

feel free to correct me if im wrong.

There also the wrong size.

I'm yet to see a pic of shadow chrome CSLs on black mate...I think it'd look the nutz in real life, but obviously that's IMO and I could be wrong.

You can never look too dark on a black car mate

Oh look what I found from someone whose already posted:

That's not too black

to be honest that combo is a bit too dark for my liking.

Is your E90 an LCI or pre-LCI?

pre LCI, i think i've read your thread about the issue you had with the csl's and the rubbing at the rear?

did you sell the rims in the end?

ElegantSpoon · 11-27-2009, 11:44 AM

Hmm thats a tough choice!! I think maybe mv4 reps

SiKkBaSs · 11-27-2009, 12:27 PM

Not too black still remain classy

vallance5 · 11-27-2009, 12:40 PM

Wassup between you and your motah, eh?

ElegantSpoon · 11-27-2009, 02:16 PM

That pic looks great nottse90!!

Butch · 11-27-2009, 07:23 PM

I really fancy a set of CSL's - however I was thinking of getting 18's ( for cost and ride quality), however I am on standard SE suspension and am worried it might look odd...

Looked at loads of photos but can't find any with 18" CSL's on stock suspension - anybody seen any - links or pics would be greatly appreciated?
