CSL Reps or Hartge Reps?

Matt_UKTX · 02-22-2006, 02:37 PM

I recently purchased some Hartge Classic reps for my E90 330i. Now I'm thinking that maybe I should have got the CSL reps instead - and I can't decide. I figured I'd put up a pole to see what you guys think. Don't get me wrong, I like my rims, but I'm really fickle about these things. If I get the CSL reps, I'll sell the Hartge reps on eBay, I figure I'll get back 85% of what I paid, given that they've only got 100 miles on the rims and they're flawless.

I've attached two pics to show the difference. The top pic is the Hartge reps. Bear in mind that I'm not much of a photographer, so try not to let that influence your decision

Where is the poll?

CSL.

KL2DC · 02-22-2006, 02:44 PM

Imho, Hartge = Contemporary ; CSL = Classic ... can't lose with either

bavarian19 · 02-22-2006, 03:10 PM

of those two... CSL...

Or you could just go BBS CH's

KL2DC · 02-22-2006, 03:17 PM

Oooh BBS CH is the essential touring car look

shragon · 02-22-2006, 04:11 PM

i think the csl's look really good on the e90. nice and factory like at the same time.

tl_boy · 02-22-2006, 04:24 PM

Matt, I didn't like the hartge classic II reps before because they have a dish, but yours look nice, except that you should drop it. Tough call imho.

Let me see if this deal pans out with my wheel guy. if it does, i'll give you his name. I'm getting a perty gewd price., lets just see if it turns out ok. Matt, do u need h&r sport springs? I can do a group buy to houston and maybe knock of 25 bucks or so?

I like the ones in the top picture. They look way better. Maybe the lower picture would look better with a BMW center cap.

CSL

I just install my CSL on my car.
During the time of installation,
the tire shop's worker keep saying
"Man!your new rims really good looking!"
but he also suggest me to get some wheel locks.
