Offical CSL Replica thread

007MCoupe · 02-21-2011, 09:37 AM

I'm starting this thread as a reference for new wheel buyers wanting to see what CSL reps look like on our cars without starting a new thread each time. It's a good reference point and discussion for all of us who have VMR VB3s & 710s, APEX Arc-8s, Avant Garde 310 and others I can't remember right now.

So dig through your pictures and post a couple shots of your ride with the CSL Reps!!

In your post, tell us a little about your ride, with at least the info about your wheels.

Car: 2007 M Coupe
Color: Interlagos Blue
Wheels: 18" VMR VB3
Color: Hyperblack
Offset: (F) 40 (R) 25
Size: (F) 18x8.5 225/40 (R) 18x9.5 275/35
Drop? None yet (stock suspension)

Good idea, here are more to get us started.

^^^Make sure to list style of rim! I think VMR is going to be my next upgrade.

007MCoupe · 02-21-2011, 03:57 PM

I believe the one's on his car are VMR 718s?

03z4ct · 02-21-2011, 04:39 PM

Heres a picture of mine....

Wheels are VMR CSL Replicas

19x8.5 Front with 40mm offset
19x9.5 Rear with 45mm offset

Tires are Goodyear Eagle F1 GSD3 tires
235/35/19 Front
265/30/19 Rear

Stock suspension

onebluemcm · 02-21-2011, 06:20 PM

seriously people, to really make this a useful thread it would be nice to have brand, size and tire package listed with the pics. And to really make it a good long term resource it would be nice to know if suspension is stock or not, but I'd consider that bonus info. Otherwise, it's just another pic thread....

VMR VB3's from EAS europeanautosource.com

Gunmetal

Nice pics! Todd - good thread to get started!

damikmak · 02-22-2011, 08:07 PM

Great Idea. I just happen to be in the market and can't decide between 18 or 19 inch wheels on my 07 3.0si Coupe. Looking forward to more posts!!!

007MCoupe · 02-22-2011, 09:17 PM

only thing I can say for 18 vs 19 is more choices for tire sizes with 18

good luck hope this helps!

any rubbing issues with those? thats the setup I am thinking and I am rocking the stock suspension (most likely wont touch that part)

No fender rubbing with GC coilovers and lowered aprx 1.5" all the way around.
Under full compression the rears rubbed the plastic fender liner a little, but should not be an issue with stock suspension

bucko521 · 02-22-2011, 10:38 PM

Frak all those wheels are nice!!

Nate2046 · 02-23-2011, 09:14 AM

Car: 2007 M Coupe
Color: TiAg
Wheels: 18" VMR VB3
Color: Rattle can Gunmetal
Offset: (F) 40 (R) 25
Size: (F) 18x8.5 225/40 (R) 18x9.5 275/35
Drop? none here

These were originally the hyper silver finish that had been ruined by the previous owner so I stripped them and repainted gunmetal. I think it looked good on the Ti car. These are still sitting in my garage if someone wants to come pick them up for cheap.

dharper · 02-24-2011, 06:13 AM

Avant Garde M335 Hyper Silver powdercoated 18x8 35 offset front, 18x9 38 offset rear with Continental ExtremeContact DWS 225/40/18 front and 255/35/18 rear.
No rubbing, and the ride is great.

Not CSL replicas - 7 spoke pairs, not 8. Technically a different "mesh" design. Like mine:

Yep good call, they are all VMR except the last photo which are original BMW E46 M3 ZCP wheels.

I would also list tire sizes but don't have them

I'm surprised that this is still the case; seems like just about every sports car / sporty car has at least 19s already.
