Just got an email update that genuine CSLs are available from ECS tuning for 2259.95 plus free shipping

These are for actual CSLs and a great price for an otherwise unavailable product.

I've already purchased two sets in my life so I am good but just wanted to post this if anyone was looking for some.

These rims look SWEET on our cars.

Daym, I wish these were available back in May. Ended up buying the ZCP's instead.

Jumbosock · 08-23-2012, 04:57 PM

It's so good I think it's a typo! Someone should buy these asap!

Do you know if the CSL front would sit flush using a 245f/275r combo on an MC? No spacer needed for an MC, right? I know the ZCP front sit a bit more inward compared to the OE 18s.

the front needs a 10mm space to bring it to ET34.. the rear @ ET27 on my car looks pretty flush, i run 235/265 with ps2 or cups. Great wheels, very very strong and lighter than the stock 18", style and substance and o.e quality. WIN!! ive been trying to replace mine for a long time. Ive finally decided..... imma leave em be!!

johanness · 08-24-2012, 06:52 AM

19" CSL's are the same weight as stock 18"s. Not lighter

Jumbosock · 08-24-2012, 02:22 PM

Agreed with Beebub that the front needs a 10mm spacer and the rear needs no spacer. That is how I am set up. In the near future when I have bigger tires I will see if I can fit a 12mm spacer up front.

i weighted both during my swap over, they are lighter, not by much, but they are lighter, but we talking like a couple of lbs on one axle, think it was the rear..... Hell even being the SAME weight wouldnt be shameful what with the larger width and diameter.

I have yet to put them on, but I went with Conti Extreme Contact DW 265/30/19 and 235/35/19

Since the radius of the wheel is obviously larger on the 19 inch rim, the majority of the mass is set slightly further out on the wheel versus a 18 inch rim. For that reason the CSL wheel needs to be a tad lighter than the OEM 18 rim for it to not negatively impact performance. I know we're talking a miniscule amount but just wanted to point out that it's not only the weight, but also the location of the mass that effects rotation.

I like to think that the overall effect is a wash.
