M3 Wheel Decision - Photoshop Request.

[*Badger*]

I'm 99% sure I'm going to be putting CSL's on my M3, but there are a number of colour options, would appreciate if someone could photoshop each option so I can see what all options would look like.

Hyper Black Shadow Chrome CSL

Black Polished CSL

Hyper Silver CSL

And my car....

Appreciated.

If its easier to change the colour of the sample pictures to my car colour then I'm fine with that too.
My M3 is known as BMW Silver/Grey.

Cheers.

Hyper silver all the way.

 

[JoeyD]

+1 on Hyper Silver!

 

[Gareth]

Hyper Silver, only way to go.

Do them whatever colour they are on a CSL - silver?
I think silver looks best anyway.

 

[Ian_182]

Silver looks best and most oem

The others actually look fake and cheap.

 

[Zmaster2k]

silver

 

[Sir_Dave]

Personally, i think that unless they are hyper silver, they look like reps. Especially those god damn awful polished things :dead:

You sure you dont want some OEM ones?

 

[*Badger*]

You selling Dave, my OEM have been refurbed badly and have no polished lip. So its either have these re-done properly or get CSL's.

Nah, mine are very much staying!!

Chap on e36coupe/M3cutters called 'Stax' got an exhange set from here: http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/BMW-E46-1...arts_Vehicles_CarParts_SM&hash=item3cc0d732c4

Iirc the wheels are refurbed by BJV Engineering iirc - who wanted about £285 inc VAT (direct) when i spoke to them last.

I would do the following:

Buy ropey M3 alloys off eBay = £250
Get refurb by BJV = £285
TOTAL = £535

Sell old wheels = £325 (what i got for mine)

Total cost = £210

 

[Englebert]

Just stalk the CSL Register for some real CSLs.

Shadow chrome is full Asian spec.

 

[Tombola]

Hyper silver all day long!

 

[Silent_Scone]

hyper silver

Cheers Dave, BJV Engineering are about 200 miles from me, however, I have heard good things about closer refurbers in my area. Hyper Silver got my nod too, as they are most OEM. I'll drop the guy a mail on cutters and see what he can offer.

 

[hughesclio]

silver all the way for me

[Kieran..]

hyper silver ftw!

 

[ILikeShinyThings]

Couldn't find any decent donor images on the other colours but heres a quick 'shop with the Hyper Black Shadow Chrome CSLs on (sorry if it looks bit crap but i tried haha)

 

[eurorob]

they look nice, my brothers just bought some bbs ch's for his m3, he'd just bought some refurbed standard rims in grey anthracite aswell before he saw the ch's so they'l be up for sale if your interested?

 

[Jimbo_M]

hyper silver ftw!

 

[Šįk]

Easy - hyper silver

 

[Fred@BTM]

don't people put rears on the front to get "the look"

 

[kpowell911]

Whatever standard CSL ones are. They win at everything.

 

[VeinAST]

Hyper Silver FTW

don't people put rears on the front to get "the look"

Yeah read that on cutters somewhere, can't see the appeal myself.
CSLs with 12mm spacers & extended bolts seems to be the best option. Maybe Eibach Pro's.

 

[Christopher]

Hyper silver! They look superb.

The rest look a bit too Bradford IMO.

Pretty much what I was going to say!

I'd stick OEM, CSL's look good on them but the only car I would have CSLs on would be a Z4MC or a CSL, lol. You've got a clean M3 there apart from the wheel refurb. Nothing worse than a scruffy M3, so keep it clean and OEM! Makes a change from all the chaved, ragged and dogs out there.

National Alloys in Widnes, NW do them for about £45 a wheel.

They did mine -
