Pros – classic styling, excellent price, lightweight, durable finish
Cons – …? I guess if I had to name one… they only come in silver
Grade – A
There’s not a lot to say about these wheels that hasn’t already been said. I’m very happy with the powder coated finish. After 20k miles, they still look new. If you’re looking for CSL-style wheels, why look anywhere else?
I weighed these wheels at one point. I believe they were right around 20 lbs each, which is more than my 18-19 lb Apex, but a whole lot lighter than the style 107’s that came with the car. Those weighed in at 24-26 lbs each. The CS.16’s are wider (1/2 inch in front, 1 inch in rear), so you’ll want to run at least a 225/255 staggered setup. 18x8.5 ET35 front, 18x9.5 ET45 rear sit pretty well on a stock non-M.
I notice the wheels every time I walk out to the car. Their color works so well with TiAg. I suppose everyone has seen pictures of them, so the best compliment I can give them is that I’m at a loss for words… I’ve had zero issues, and they look as good today as when I first purchased them.
