Seeking gunmetal CSL style wheels for my 1er...

cozza · 11-01-2009, 06:33 PM

Anyone know a local company who does CSL style rims in a gunmetal finish?

I don't really want to stray from the factory sizes (18x7.5 / 18x8.5), but 19s would definitely look pretty sweet. Would going to 19s would compromise ride comfort significantly?

Has anyone put CSL rims on their 1er Downunder?

How about hyperblack?

Thanks Rob, actually just finished reading this thread and have PM'd for a quote. Hyperblack looks sweet!

hey cozza, i've seen a 1er going around with CSL wheels, think his nick name may be ED555 (or something similar) on the boards here. may be worth asking him.

haha i saw him yeterday in the city SBM/Coral - 135i .... the CSL's look HOT!

cozza · 11-01-2009, 09:29 PM

Yeah, I've spotted this car as well (we actually spotted each other). But I want CSLs in gunmetal, and the only company I know in Melbourne (MSWT in Dandenong) only do them in silver...

SparklingRed · 11-02-2009, 12:09 AM

Have you looked at Donnellan's in Box Hill? Last time I was there, they had them.
But not sure about the fitment.

aus135i · 11-02-2009, 02:48 AM

any1 know any place in syd? if not melb will do .. i want a set in black! share your findings cozza

bobbynoway · 11-02-2009, 03:05 AM

I too would like to get good quality wheels in the right offset here locally. Shipment from overseas is very expensive.
Problem you will find is getting wheels with the right offset. Most euro wheels will have offsets to suit the 3 series BMW.
Did you try the usual places like Tempe, Ozzy, St George etc in Sydney?

aus135i · 11-02-2009, 03:46 PM

went to Tempe but they only got 19"s and i believe they will give problems.. but yea lets see what cozza finds ^^

BMW86 · 11-02-2009, 05:03 PM

You won't find CSL's with the right offset anywhere. The closest we have come so far is Alufelgen that has promised to make these wheels in 18's with the right offsets but this has been going on for almost a year now. If these wheels were already available in Australia, we would be shipping them out everywhere as there is huge demand for CSL reps that aren't very aggressive and don't require any fender modifications.

I know we spoke over PM earlier today, so if you have any further questions in regards to the wheels, let me know... You wont do any wrong by going with VMR

janus77 · 11-02-2009, 06:19 PM

what about getting your rims powdercoated instead? I'm thinking about doing this.. anyone know a good powdercoating place in Sydney? (sorry for Hijack)

Thank you for your PM. We are the only company to have the CSL wheels with specific offsets for the 1-series available to purchase. I see we have several Australian members interested in CSL wheels. Perhaps you`d like a small GB to save on shipping costs?

Either way, let me know how many members are interested and I`ll get a shipping quote.

We have gunmetal, hyperblack, matte black and silver available.

Cheers,
Matt.

Matt... "Available to purchase", meaning you can pay for them now??? I thought you are still a bit out for production? Not to bust 'em, but are you actually shipping anything these days?

I do like the looks of what you will be selling though.

If you follow our threads you can see the samples have already arrived. Feel free to follow our threads to be updated about the status of our upcoming CSL wheels for the 1er.

Full production will be completed shortly and we should be receiving them very soon.

If you would like information about ordering please PM us and we can assist you.

Matt

cozza · 11-02-2009, 08:15 PM

Thanks Matt and Jurrian for your prompt replies and the information you've provided here.

I'll discuss the options among the rest of the Aussie members and see who's interested in making a purchase. A group buy deal will obviously be a more attractive option as we'll be able to share the cost of shipping.

Matt, I look forward to hearing good news regarding the arrival of your first production run, and hopefully see some positive feedback from your American customers, as well as photos. Please keep us informed of any important updates.

Aussie members, I've posted a new thread here to see who's interested in a group buy.
