Here are my genuine reps from CMWheels :D

Lynchy, what tire size do you have on them? Do you have any complaints about crack or anything else?

On their website it mentions different sizes of ET on different CSL type of wheels.
Does anybody know what it is and what is the correct size for our cars?
The most common offset for the reps are 38 front, 27 rear. OEM CSL's are 44 front, 27 rear

Steve is right I haven't fitted them yet. I had a long conversation with Chris at CMWheels and before buying he assured me they were exactly the same dish and offsets (which I still don't understand ) as genuine CSLs . The only difference is that the fronts may sit out about 5mm more than genuine which is fine. As soon as I get them on i will post some pics .

The one thing I will say FD3S is if you are unsure give Chris a call as he will be able to help you with sizes etc

I disagree with that statement, I too have just bought CSL reps (atomic) I would of loved to see get a set of genuine ones but I cannot justify spending almost 2K on them + tyres. As long as there is not a safety issue then what does it matter? ......I would rather spend my money on making sure the car is mechanically the best it can be.

Hi Alan, I'm keeping my 224s as I've spent a lot of money on them. I also like the idea of having another set of wheels.

I have The CM reps on mine and confirm they do sit out slightly more at the front, but that is a bonus as they fill out the front arch very nicely.
