Those are Apex Arc-8 and my next wheel choice!

Very light!!

Love them, they look more like BBS RC then CSL's.

Nice car!

Real CSL's or go home. Replicas are boring and will most likely look tacky/cheap.

The wheels that I have seen on this and other threads on this forum may indeed by replicas for the most part but they all look exceptionally nice to me and I would not hesitate to have a set for my car.

Boo! There are lots of great looking aftermarket wheels for these cars. Don't have to be real! That said, mine are :-)

I like the BMW Type 359, that was used on the M3. Similar to the CSL but spokes seem slightly slimmer.

Wheels!

I believe that I have developed a severe case of wheel envy. I have stayed with the ellipsoid staggered setup and I am bent on preserving the original status of the car, but . . . . . . looking at the enhancement that these beauties bring, may make me rethink that position. This is one of the dangers of reading about other's vehicles! Wheel envy.

I didn't say the car will look tacky, the wheels will. I was bit harsh though. There are some (not many) more expensive "replicas" that look good. But cheap CSL replicas are a waste of money in my book.

Slow down cowboy, I didn't bash on all aftermarket wheels. I just don't like the cheap looking CSL replicas. There are some CSL "style" wheels out there, but they are not trying to look exactly like OE CSL wheels. It's the ones that try to look like the original that are tacky.

With all respect due, you put tractor wheels on a car that did not deserve it

Very basic, simplistic design doesn't not compliment your otherwise impressively looking vehicle; please don't let this hurt your feelings, sometimes intricacy can be very illusive, especially when you're dealing with with M Coupe's delicate, female lines
