Looking into getting CSL replicas and Ive done my reading on all the posts on here. So with that being said its time for me to lay out my unresolved questions so I can place my order. Id appreciate any feedback and tips from the fellow owners.

I'm going for all 4 wheels to be the same size, I'm looking for a bolt on solution with no cutting, rolling or rubbing.

Color- Hyperblack

Size- 18x8.5 +40mm Offset All 4's

Tires- BFGoodrich KDW-2 235/40/18 or 245/40/18 Whichever doesn't rub

Thats the setup id like to run, now for the questions......

Anyone running this encountering rubbing?

Whats everyone running for center caps? as I don't like BMW ones

Whats everyone running for lug nuts?

What size hub ring is required and where can I get them?

What place is the most reputable and the cheapest?


Also these will be going on a IBM car so if anyone has some pics can you post them too?

Search "CSL replica" and starting reading. EAS motorsports is my choice as I have talked with them on the phone once before on this issue. Don't be scared, pick up the phone and call someone.

I just got my 18 inch staggered set in this past thursday. I believe that the lugnuts should be 45 degrees. IIRC, the stock GTO lugnuts are 60 degrees. I know another member on this board who has BFG KDW (NT) and he is running 245s on his stock 18s with no issues whatsoever.

Contact csiJason and get some hubrings from him.

Center caps - EAS forgot to throw mine in the boxes. When I called them and asked for them, the guy on the phone told me that the GTO guys are getting the BMW center caps and taking the blue/white shield off and doing something different. The CSLs usually don't come with caps because the stock Bimmer caps fit.

Personally, I am going to contact a vinyl company and get them to make some stickers for my centers. Either Evil Goat, the Arrowhead and something to make them my own.

I hope that this was some help.
