Good quality 18" CSL reps?

JR07 · 03-20-2014, 05:54 AM

Hey,
My local council are paying out after I trashed two of my standard wheels on a pothole, I'd been thinking do I get two replacement OEM M Spider 193s or do I use the money for a set of replica CSLs for my E91.

The CSL idea won.

Can anyone recommend any brands for CSL replicas? I'm looking for a staggered fit on 18", but don't want something that's going to shatter on the first bit of uneven road, also, a set of 'proper' ones is out of range!

Any guidance on supplier / brand would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Apex arc-8 would be a nice choice. Reasonably priced, Strong and very light. The ec-7 is a little different look but still a similar design.

I have a set of staggered 18" CSL reps made by Sportline (sold by Mod Bargains in Cali). They're rotary forged, look identical to oem CSLs and I never had a problem. They're a great value IMO.

I'm actually selling mine and decided to go with 19" BBSCH wheels but I would recommend these:
