Just wanted your opinion on a refurb colour , as im now on the rays for winter , cups on the standard rims ... thought id take the opportunity to get them refurbed , and re sprayed slighty different , light grey as opposed to silver, black on black at little to heavy IMHO , and have bronze anyway on the rays.. so ????

Thoughts :smokin:

This one is sitting about the same ride height as mine also .. love the bonnet up shot , might nick that idea tomorrow !

I'd keep them silver, even though the above car looks awesome.

I see pictures of my car there.. haha
I'm glad that you used it as an inspiration.. but mine is not a geniune CSL.. I can only wish for it to be one. I do have some CSL goodies fitted though. The wheels on my car are actually Racmonolite RG4 version 2 in gunmetal. They replicate the CSL wheels look but the curvature of the wheels are a bit different from the geniune CSL ones. You should definitely go for gunmetal though as your car will look absolutely stunning with them!

They look well nice :smokin:


I wouldnt use your Rays for winter use though - the salt will totally mess up the finish :banghead:

I believe they are 9 inch wide in the front and 10 inch wide at the rear. They are called Racmonolites. You will be able to find more info on them on M3Forum. They are way lighter than the CSL's as they weigh in at about 19lbs each.
