OK thanks very much ...what are people's thoughts regarding the different wheels ie CSL reps or original 135's?
I vote for CSL
Only wheel better is a 224 imo.

Personally I think CSL's look awesome. They really suit the z4's lines and low ride hieght. I wouldn't buy reps though. I wouldn't trust a copy that claims to be something it isn't, and I wouldn't want a set of wheels on my car that weren't real.

I would be much happier going for a decent brand in a similar style to the CSL, such as the BBS CH and CH-R wheel and Im planning to go for the latter when funds allow. Makes your car a bit more personal too as many z4's are on CSL's (with very good reason)

I have mv2's on at the minute and they just aren't doing it for me. Used to love them but they are so common on other bmw's it makes me want something different.

On my coupe I have 201 turbines. Being 17 inch the car is just that bit lighter on its feet as well which Imo improves the drive- plus 18 inch mv2 are everywhere!
