CSL type wheels
I am thinking about purchasing CSL reps for my MY08 Z4. Understanding that this is a replica wheel, who makes the highest quality replica? I am new to the BMW Z and looking to make a sound purchase. If not CSL type what do you guys recommend?

Personally I love the BMW Style 107/202 for the Z4 non-M (below). Such a unique wheel design for a unique car design. Plus, it's a lot lighter than a real BMW CSL wheel, let alone any knockoffs. Of course, essentially new sets of Style 224 (Z4 M wheels) can be had with tires for cheap as people often try to shed them at car delivery.

202 (18") F 11.23 Kg R 11.93 Kg 127 M3 CSL (19") F 12.62 Kg R 13.79 Kg Sure, the 202 is only a 18" wheel, but I prefer 18" anyway for lighter weight, better road manners, and less risk of kerbing and/or bent wheels. Plus I think it looks better to have a little meat on the wheel. The Z4 M wheels are 11.2 and 11.7 Kg's respectively. Even better and not bad for OEM. As for aftermarket, the BBS CH is quite a bargain, is a strong wheel, looks great on Z4s, and is a light wheel for basically a cast wheel (but rim is rolled to shape).

No way the OEM CSL's/ZCP's weigh 28lbs front & 30lbs rear. I've weighed them & my 19" RGR's back to back, and the OEM ZCP's only weighed slightly (3~4lbs) more than my RGR's. The weights I got for the ZCP's (24lbs/25lbs) were consistent with the results from all those who bothered to weigh these wheels (check M3forum.net).
Wherever you pulled the numbers from, they're incorrect. And I wouldn't really call the CH's lightweight. For the 18" version, they weigh about the same as stock. For 19", they weigh 26lbs/28lbs.

Don't have a hissy, please. BBS CH 18x8.5 = 23.9 lbs 18x10 = 25.42 lbs 19x8.8 = 24.1 19x10 = 27.9 At least you got the 19" rear correct. These numbers are straight off the BBS website. Still, I never said these things were as light as forged wheels did I? I just stated they were a good bargain and light for cast (and truthfully not much heavier than the forged BBS LM). Actually, they're a step up from cast as they rim is rolled to shape from a much more shallow casting giving it greater strength and lighter weight than a typical cast wheel rim.

There might be another option. I put 3 series 197s on my Z4. The rim is a little different but the spoke design kind of resembles the CSLs. I've even had a couple of people ask me where I bought my CSL rims.....
