BBS LM or CSL Replicas?

What do you guys think of these wheels? I love both of them on the e46 and think they would look as good on the e90. I'd go with 19". I have a more conservative style than most, but would like some opinions. Any other wheel suggestions are appreciated. TIA!

CSL Replicas with a silver finish.

The LM's would be black with a polished lip.

Yes, I do know the price difference.

I would go with the black center because my car is black. It's a bit more aggressive, but I like it.

The other option is Work VS-SX, but they will take longer to save for.

Seems like an odd question to ask to compare the two. If you have the money, why even consider the CSL reps? Why not the LM's or the real CSL's? It's like asking weather you should buy the dress from Saks or Ross. I vote for Saks!

The LM's are undisputably (to me) the best looking wheel for E90 PERIOD. 19" silver LM's on an E90 are a 10/10.

Works may be lighter, but won't look as good as the LMs. Most users here would probably gladly take LM's, only problem is price. .

Compared to CSL replicas? thats a funny comparison. On one hand, you have the cheapest decent look wheel on the market for the E90, on the other hand, you have one of the most expensive. A little over 1 BBS LM wheel only will get you a complete CSL Replica package with all four tires and wheels.

Get the LM's, then get the best wheel locks in the market.
