Ha ha rich. I might try and source some genuine csl that need a refurb. I think the mrs dad gets about 25-30% off as he spends over £10k a month with them. I'll get a price

Tom, I had genuine CSLs on my E90 and they were VERY soft, couple of potholes and they're practically square.

Replicas are different offsets too and tend not to fit so well.

What reps are you going to go for (if you do).

Ive been on the case & found 2 suppliers one from a company called Prestige, which are meant to be the best currently available but some customers have had problems with the quality I think & they are prone to buckling. Others available through ebay 'sorted wheels' used to be spot on & the closest to the real deal however ive read he's changed supplier & they are no longer up to scratch!!

Theres a company in the US doing them that are meant to be bob on but I dont think they ship them over here!!

Not having them if they don't have the writing. That's the first thing I looked for

Here are the satin black ones

They dont have the writing in the middle.
I sent him a message asking if they still come with the writing in the middle on the silver ones, so just have to wait i suppose
