19x8.5 / 19x9.5" CSL wheels, best tire sizes?

The Sportline wheels are powder coated silver which is more durable than most other wheels which are painted.

interesting...I tried to look for certifications and didn't see them. That's a big plus.

Why don't you get a CSL and Sportline side by side for comparisons like the other replicas? I am curious to see them directly next to each other.

The price is definitely good and they are lighter too.

I meant side by side like the other replicas. We all saw those other pics.

Just to see the wheels in the same lighting.

I don't have the OEM ZCP wheels here in the warehouse to do a comparison shot. I can take a comparison if a customer comes in with the OEM CSL wheels, but until then, the above pictures are the best that I can do for you at this point of time.

On my old E46 M I ran a set of wheels with the same spec as CSLs (19x8.5 ET44, 19x9.5 ET27) for a while with 255-35-19 front and 275-30-19 rear with zero rubbing issues. Also right now I'm free shipping genuine BMW CSL wheel sets , you can check them out HERE.
