Or you could buy the original BBS gt4 re (the above are a rep 1lb heavier)http://alekshop.com/products/bbs_racing_wheels_bmw_gt4

Then there's Rays wheels, lighter than above, for example, shimmys are Rays.

I reckon the oz will weigh no more than shimmys. Jim's are really light.

PM me the price also please.

No probs Billy. I might even go a set myself.

Do they only come in one offset, Jim your rear spacer was comical. It must weigh as much as the wheel:-D

Ill be checking offset availability tomorrow.

I did laugh when jim told me his offset.

And jim, them wheels will really suit your PURPLE CAR:blalalala:

:whistle::finga: the wheels and spacers came off a csl, so I assumed that they would fit:clown:


et40 they come, so 10mm front spacer and 20mm rear should be ok?

I'm waiting for answer back on the comps

Is weight reduction for what we are doing a major issue? I think not, get some TD 1.2's on there !

Loads of posts about this on here too.:)

Sorry to resurrect yet another thread but I need you track addicts advice,

I decided to use my OEM 19 CSL's with Pirelli Corsa road tires (non semi-slick) and go for OZ Ultraleggera as Shane recommended.

Could someone please enlighten me the benefits of going with 18" rather than 19" to a semi-slick newbie like me ? Is it only because square setup allows for front and rear tire rotation and slightly lower cost ? Or am I missing something like a handling benefit as well ?

Thanks,

[billyboysm3]

I personally find turn in is better and helps eliminate understeer.

You can get slicks for that size :thumbs:

[Clubber]

Thanks guys. Would these wheels clear the kw cs at the front ? My oem csl's require a 10mm spacer. I don't think there will be any room for spacers with the OZ's.

[shimmy]

my square set up Volks are 9.5J x 18 with 265x35x18 Cups and offsets are et34 front and et15 rear effectively. The fronts clear the intrax by no more than 3/4mm and allow me to run any camber i like from 1.5 upwards.

I think the reality to swap tyres right left, front rear saves money long term. Also it allows you to carry one spare for all occasions. Next the wide front helps with turn in, improves breaking and reduces understeer or at least makes it feel that way to us Billys. all subtle changes but it seems to work.

Hey shimmy,

If 265's with 9.5 with clears the front fenders than I guess I'll be fine even with 10mm spacers. I think.

For the benefits, I also thought about switching left to right as it is more useful in Istanbul Park F1 Circuit. It is counter clockwise and keeps eating right hand side tires. But aren't cups direction specific ? Can you rotate them anyway you like ? front and back and side to side ?

they have outside face, otherwise any corner

[Clubber]

Oh, that's great. It makes much more sense then.
So, you think I am safe with 18x9 ET40 OZ setup with KW CS' in terms of suspension clearance?

id say so but guessing

there are guys on here with CS and square so hopefully they will shout out

I believe some here are using non factory springs for the fronts on their CS because some require spacers and some don't. The front springs that were installed on the kit DID require 10mm spacers to clear OEM CSL wheels from hitting the suspension on my car.

BUT some members also say CS were straight plug and play. No spacers, no extra equipment. That's why I think it must be a different spring they changed later on OR ordered that way. Probably a shorter spring with same rate or something.
