He said he can straighten them but it would be uneconomical for myself as the cost would be higher than a new set.
Shame, but that's the way it is.

If he's got a proper set up like the guy who did mine it's a big hydraulic machine that pushes the flat spot out and the machine bears the load/pressure aswell stopping the risk of cracking the wheel again which happens quite often when just heating it up and belting it with a mallet lol.

Not considering CSL reps Ben? I know they are common but the look awesome

Yeah he did say that. It's the just metal edges on the dishes are very thin and the risk of cracking is high. If it cracks, they'll need welding and so more time and money.
Ian, i'm not a huge fan of csl's tbh. I don't mind them, I just don't find them interesting They definitely look fine on Z4's though.

Too scene mate never knew about the structural warranty though. That's rather good and very much needed with our crap roads.

Don't like the wheels posted above, look like they are off a much bigger car. Proportions all wrong.
Gloss black dish as you were going to do will look nice

How are dishy spokey wheels conservative?!
The s4's are simple, I'm tempted by them because they look soooo easy to clean

They weren't, but they're definitely not completely ''out there''
Those s4's are nice, but in 19'', they'd make the standard brakes look tiny.
