Re: Need advice on Online Wheel purchase

ok, maybe dkkb isnt so concerned bout the weight
but anyway, it is 24.75 and 25.25 lbs for 8.5 n 9.5 respectively. Not light for sure but not retardedly heavy either.

I believe these r taiwan made replicas..IIRC, RAYS at Kaki Bukit used to sell these, maybe u can check em out. Our bro forumer Shaaz is on such wheel but not staggered.

So before u go online, check the rims out locally first. I am sure u can get something..

Gd luck ah and today gold stock very solid....toto says one

Re: Need advice on Online Wheel purchase

Technically speaking, only CSL owners can order CSL parts via PML as proof of VIN is needed for ordering. Having said that, I have seen a few regular M3 owners asked their CSL friend to order for them OEM CSL rims.
These OEM rims are made by BBS

The reps are mostly Taiwan or Italian made..

thanks guy! think locally only 18" non staggered. only modbargains has the right offset for E90. Will check my options...those 4 will weigh 50kg total

Re: Need advice on Online Wheel purchase

taiwan around 250 - 300. italian 400. both looks same to me ...n imho only the owner knows what he selling to you. get the idea? HA!
