You'll be getting much more rubber, and probably losing 10lbs a corner of unsprung weight, by replacing the 29lb stocker wheels.

Also, it's not a curving spoke design, like every other CSL rep out there. The mounting plate is recessing in a cup-like design. It definitely reminds me of the Kosei K1's mounting plate area, where the spokes attach from the tire bead lip area to the rim of a cup, and the bottom of the cup is the mounting plate.


It's pretty much a direct copy of the BBS RC. The factory CSL wheel is in fact a variant of the BBS RC wheel as well. I used to have RCs on my E36 M3, one of my favorite wheels ever.
