It'd be quite logical to just paint them - you could even do them matt anthracite like those CSl reps a couple of pages back

Or just high power silver like the CSL's were - bollocks to them being polished or diamond cut.

hmm maybe, but then maybe it will knock the price down with them not being polished/diamond cut

In my experience the normal person wouldnt notice as they probably just want the car. Just spray them so they look standardish.

how much are oem wheels compared to csl reps? surely csl reps work out cheaper?

couldn't you just buy a 2nd hand set of reps with tyres and paint/refurb them yourself?

Actually tom I would refurb the wheels in silver and remove the eibachs so you can recover some costs

its cheaper to buy oem 19's with part worn tyres than new csl reps with new tyres, thus im looking at the oems unless some second hand reps with tyres come up for sale
cba to change the springs again fad, it looks perfect at this height now

Just do what the VW boys do and say you will need to bring your own wheels.

Pretend you had some super expensive BBS items and your keeping them.

buy used csl reps with part worn tyres, paint them fresh silver. job done.

the you won't have to worry about diamond cut/polished then etc

p.s. how much would you sell it for without any wheels? just to get shot of it?

There are these, but not sure if they'd need a proper refurb rather than a paint?

I didn't really notice the wheels where t shinty as diamond cut until I owned the car for about 3days I assumed it was just what colour they where all painted. Just paint them there's a few on AT that are painted, csls will be harder to sell IMO and if you have the springs put the standard one back on it will sell faster. Nobody buys modded bmws.
