I think that's a good idea. BBS and BMW seem to be a safe combintion

I actually just saw a set of the real CSL wheels on a M Coupe, wow it was quite nice. They looked a little bit different from those pictures, they were more of a regular silver and something about them looked professional like the OEM wheels. Really is an excellent combination and I wouldnt be surprised if BMW offers them as a standard option soon.

The problem with CSLs are all the rep wheels out there....
Kind of over done.

Very nice wheel though.

So true. Unfortunately when a great BMW OEM wheel design comes out like that it's inevitably going to be copied over and over again and become extremely popular.

I'm considering a change... but having a hard time with it
- weight reduction will play a big part in the decision for me.

The OEM (ZCP) CSLs are lighter than the reps.
*but* the ZCP CSLs are only 8" fronts

dunno what I'll do.....

The question really should be about whether or not you like the wheels that come with the car. I love them. Do you really need to save 5 pounds on the wheels? I doubt it, but if you want new wheels then get em, but if you like what you got, keep your money and your wheels.

I've seen the Z M coupe with silver polished HREs.
it looks gorgeous!

Reducing 5lbs of rotational unsprung mass is *huge*.
It makes a huge difference to handling acceleration and braking.
I know 5lbs doesn't sound like much, but once you've experienced it you see what the fuss is all about.

I'm looking at light weight forged rims (19") that weigh 21(fr) & 22(rr) lbs.
Couple that with lighter tires like PS2s....
I'm looking at shaving 34lbs(min) of rotational unsprung mass.
It pays huge performance dividends.
Weight & strength are the key factors for me in wheel selection.

JM2C, but isn't that what the M series is about..... performance?
I know that's why I bought mine.

Very very true, 5lbs at the wheels will make an enormous difference, you will notice it immediatly and be addicted

If you got the cash get a set of HRE competitions. Otherwise, you can never go wrong with a good set of BBS. LM's are my favorite

5 lpbs on a wheel when you have 262 lb/ft of torque is very minimal. If you noticed a difference at all it was probably grip from good tires, cuz the contis suck.

no idea the Z4 could fit that kind of lip in the back! Gives the already squat Z4 coupe an even meaner stance
