Which rims

Post by A20LEE » Fri Mar 27, 2009 8:39 pm

Now i really want 10x19 BBS CH as you all know but they seem a lot of hassle so i'm now looking at either bentleys or replica CSL in a 9.5x19 alround. Which do you prefer?

If you can get that much concave look with the CSL rep's then go for it!

Both look good IMO.....CSL's probably have the edge, but you do need that dished look....as long as the rep's have it go for it.

I think the CSL's look better. The Bentley's are nice but a bit too bling on a car that is a bit more understated. Would the CSL's even fit under the RS4 arches, especially if lowered?

Who knows? Think its going to be a case of jumping in with both feet and hoping it works!! Think they may look better than the CH's!

CSL's do suit the car however, since seeing Grizz's Dymags no other wheel in my opinion comes close now.

Will the CSL wheels clear your calipers?
