Thank you! I love them, 17x8.5. I think they're ~17 pounds eachQuote:

Lol!! Some of my friends say the same thing. I really want some CH wheels, but most of my friends tell me not to get them. That my wheels are fine. When I got the car back after the leather dye, it just looked so good with the door open and the CSL spokes and my brake rotors.Quote:

But I already have about two years with my wheels and want to have a little bit more of an enthusiast look. Really hard choice tho.. what do you guys think?

I think your wheels look great. But, if you really want a pair of CH's go for it. It's all in what you like. You could sell either set down the road if you wanted.Quote:

Agreed. I prefer the CSL-type wheels over the CHes, but I have a feeling I may be an oddity around here (for more reasons than just my wheel preferences on an E46).Quote:

Speaking of CSL styles: au revoir 135s.
Also, there's a 997 in here that's shaking the foundation of this building. It's giving me tingles.
I feel a pic is coming within 15 mins!! [emoji15]
[emoji102] new wheels?? 🤤Quote:

And now a few full frame DSLR shots. I need new center caps. And lugs.

Nice! :applause2
EDIT: Remind me, which wheels are these?
sweet! any rubbing out back?
Thanks! They're "Sportline 8s." I know VB3s are the more popular option because of price, and the thinner (read longer looking) spokes; but I really didn't want gravity cast. I learned about these from the guy I bought my M3 seats from.Quote:

If you're already touching the curb with 265s you're too close. So you deserve a mild rash at 255. LOL. Sorry tough love. [emoji12] Use those mirrors. Mirrors don't lie!!Quote:

Just purchased a set of Staggered BBS CH off TireRack [emoji102]

Nah lol no tax return I don't get anything all I get is like $800 back lol I'm single no kids lol good job 🤷🏻*♂️ I put it on my credit card lol pay it off slowly. I send something to it every week.

Compared to the ARC-8's I have in my garage, my BBS CH wheels are much heavier. You can feel them when you drive the car but damn, do they look incredible on the car once mounted!
If you're tracking or driving your car spiritedly all the time then I would stay away from the BBS CH wheels to be honest and go for the much lighter ARC-8/Volk TE37 wheels. If you're going purely for looks then I would say BBS LMs or BBS CH wheels is the way to go. If you want to stay more OEMish then go with the CSL wheels. Either way you can't lose :thumbsup
Yes. The pistons are garbage on the stock calipers - they do not stand up to track use whatsoever and crack under high heat, which is ironic considering these are 6-piston calipers (essentially a BBK) and not the typical single piston floating ones BMW usually used on their cars of that generation.Quote:
