CSL Wheels Mags or Alloys

[kpkpkp]

I was told mine were magnessium but other people have said they are alloy.

I found an ad on pistons heads

Says they are mags, if they are not what is the difference between CSL and CS wheels as they look the same to me.

They are both cast alloy wheels, not even forged, let alone magnesium :p The difference is the CSL rim has a width of 8.5" up front and the CS only 8.0". Material used is different; hence the different part nos. even for the rears wheels which are exactly the same dimension.

The CSL rims are only a tad lighter than the CS. However, taking into account that the CS front rims use narrower front tyres (225/35/19 as opposed to 235/35/19 on the CSL), the overall weight of the CS wheels with tyres is a tad lighter than the CSL wheels with tyres.

I think the CS wheels are 8" and CSl are 8.5" wide. This made it very interesting when trying to fit a BBK earlier this week.

u been asking the same question over and over again lol..

And Nick will be giving out the same answer lol

Ok 1 thing to add thou magnesium wheels. They are not suitable for Road use. Track use only. They will fall apart.

I know, I felt a dick posting up the same question but after seeing that ad I just thought I would check. Then I noticed the guy who is selling them is the same guy I bought mine from.

I thought that OEM 19s were forged and 18s or smaller were cast? Either way, they're definitely not mags.

They are all cast as far as I know.
