I had a set of 19". The weight was about 27~28lbs front and 29~30lbs back. I hated them every mile I had them. Killed the acceleration and steering response, and made the car feel heavy and no longer agile.

Just bumping this again,

Do we need to run spacers on these or are they good to go out of the box?

On my ZCP I don't run spacers, but to run stock front track width you would need a 5mm spacer. Without spacers, the fronts look a little sunken.

Yu can run them just fine with out spacers but the front ZCP wheel is not the same offset as the OEM Z4M front wheel so it is a little sunken in. I think a 10mm spacer makes it look good but I went with a 15mm based on the recommendations from Rogue Engineering. I think the 15mm makes it look perfect but you couldn't run the 15mm with a stock alignment. It needs extra front camber so the wheel doesn't rub which is not a problem for me since I run -2.5ish. As far as the rear goes they look fine with out spacers but a 5mm spacer would make it look perfect. I was going to buy a 5mm spacer for the rear but I ended up picking up a set of 285 rear tires for stupid cheap to replace my worn 275s and I think the 285 will fill the arch just perfect with out the spacer

Thanks Guys,

Have to decide if I should get these or a new exhaust,
then begs the question on what exhaust to get!

I don't want too loud so from research I'm thinking Remus, or SS powerloop,

I just really have a thing for the CSL's

Yep, the CSLs work without them (I thought your spacer question was about reps), but you can't get them here new. Cruise the E46 M3 forums and you'll likely find some for sale used. I snagged mine via Ebay.uk, but it was about a grand more expensive than ZCPs.

wow these wheels looks great on your car Gerald

Ok got my CSL's today from Evan at Tischer,
God they are beautiful, there is no new, Like brand new lol

now guys who have these wheels,

I'll be running 245/35/19's up front, I see there have been a few sizes of spacers thrown up,

Are they really needed? and those who have them can anyone give me any links to buy them?

and what about bolts? stock ones fit or you need new ones?

Are you lowered? If you are I would go with 10mm's but if you not lowered you can def go with 15mm's. I am running the 15mm's but then again I run alot of camber in the front and now have some really stiff suspension. For buying spacers I would look no further then Rogue Engineering! Those guys are great and you can drive to the shop to pick them up... I am going to heading there to pick up a short shifter once they get them back in stock. You will need new bolts but the Rogue spacers come with them and the best part is you can get the bolts in black! They also carry silver and chrome if you want.
