Teddy and Roy both do good prices on alloys. Ted's CSL reps are amazing value. Alternately, look secondhand maybe, Fas could be nudged into selling a lovely set of alloys atm. ;) What sort of look are you after? Spoked? Pattern?

Hmmm tought choice,I would go for the BBS Motorsports, like the ones Peppernick had, you can get em from the states for about $2500 with tyres in 19s!

Im into my classic looking wheels, that way they will never date, such as Alpinas, BBS, ACS ect ect!

Mistasmiff, what style wheels do you have in mind and what's your budget? I can recommend some if I know more what you're looking at ;)

hhm..ok

I'm not keen on too many spokes, 5 , 7, 9 spoke twin blade ...etc, not sure about a dish either....see haow confused I am .. [hmm

My GF wants me to simply update it to look like a later car, .ie led rears, mv evo alloys, private plate ...she loves the mv evo alloys. :cool:

I was in this same dilemma a little while ago (although I was after 18s). I was torn between Velocity CSL Replicas from the States and the BBSs. Went for the BBSs but I would deffo recommend the CSLs as they are fabulous looking rim.

dayum!..I know why I did'nt like CSL alloys before!!, it's becasue IMHO without a staggered firment they look normal, in staggered fitment they look awesome!!. ..

Seeing them on that black coop has made my mind up.!!

Right then, what fitment do I need so that they have that "inset" on the rears as on the white Coupe ???

19X9.0 rear 265/30/19 tyres and 19X8.5 fronts 235/35/19 tyres ;)

Speak to Teddy :cool:

thanks Peppernick, what springs will give me the best drop? and will I need to roll the arches?

Peppernick, you got any more pics of Black coupes wearing CSL's in staggered form ???

Get the Eibach Sportline. Don't think you need to roll the rears. The reps are made to fit the standard E46.

Mmmmmm, those CSLs are very nice!

I've always like the hamann look myself, like the set Fas has got, which are PG2's I believe.
