thanks! i eventually will have some new pics up once my car is clean and i take a couple of pics. For now, heres some old pics. I've actually been trying to decide on wheels, I really want 18"csl reps, but I just cant decide what colour. I either want silver or matte black. Any advice from anyone would help, thanks!

one your car... either will look nice. Cole (deafboy) has a silver 3 series too with 19" silver csl's and they look awesome. i think he's running 10 mm spacers too.

i'll see if i can dig up a pic of it

Ive been leaning more towards matte black lately.yea Ive seen his car. I actually got to see his car in person when him and sneakymike all came down for revscene this spring. This only thing bothering me is if I would end up regretting the matte black or not.

np

what may also look good would be color matched
usually the shop you get them from will have to powder coat the rims matte black anyways, but you could request them powdercoat it tiag. i got mine from supreme power, http://www.supremepowerparts.com

Oo i never thought of colour match...Maybe its just me, but I cant seem to find them on the site. I was thinking of ordering mine from http://www.europeanautosource.com/

eas is great to deal with too. they resell the velocity csl reps
the thing i liked better about the SPP version was that they have the writing imprints around the lugs replicated too:

pricing is about the same.
i have an affiliate that works at supreme so he looked after me well. i got a good deal on the wheels + tires + spacers, shipped.

i don't a direct url to the wheels, but get in touch with them via email or call them up.

Damn that looks so much better!! IMO the black will look sick!! Maybe paint the roof black?? I think that'll look sick as well. Then eventually some some CSL hood+trunk!!

xPhantom over at e46fanatics made this photoshop for me. It really gives me a good idea of what each colour will look like.

Once those smoked corners arrive, I will let you know asap. So, you can get rid off the OEM corners.
It will look so hot with the flat black wheels.

i think the black will only work if i end up getting a rep m3 bumper, and the silver will work best atm or with a mtech 2 front bumper...i cant seem to decide
