Get them refurbed when you got to sell it
no point doing it just now for them to be ruined by winter roads, salt and pot holes and no point buying some cheap replicas that is just throwing money away

reps will be worth next to nothing when you come to sell them, adding to the overall cost of refurbing the stock wheels.
why don't you just get through the next couple of months and then refurb them in the spring?

Get the CSL's on, then send the M3 wheels off to be diamond cut 
I wouldnt bother trying to refurb a polished face in all honesty.

as rich said i have a good guy for diamond cut, but as we are the other end of the country i dont think its worth it, £290 for a set of four though
That is a good price!!
Any idea what his turn around is & would he package them up & send them to me?
Its about a week and they do post them too,

Cant beat that price tbh its very good!! I'll need to look into delivery costs as they will probably be around £50 to send them in either direction. There is local places I can drop them to.

Yeah they were on buy now, cant remember how much.
Id love them but cant really justify spending what there going to go for a couple days before xmas, & having just moved into a new house.
Might just let mine go scabby & pay to have them refurbished in summer.
Im hoping to get a new car in around 12 months anyway, is it worth buying genuine CSL's?

Hmmm cheap enough, but need to remember 8j rear wheels is going to look wrong under M3 arches so would probably need some spacers.............2 tyres aswell.
Really want those ebay ones, they would look mint!!
