Wheel info please.
 

Having recently taken the plunge & bought my Cecil (all be it with non standard wheels) I'm now looking to buy a standard original set of wheels. I know genuine wheels will have the 'BMW' & 'BBS' stamps but any other info would be welcome please. What options were there from new? Part numbers? Any suggestions on where to buy maybe? Many thanks in advance.

CSL Wheels:

2x Type 127 19x8.5J et44 Part No: 2282660 + 2x Type 127 19x9.5J et27 Part No: 2282999 or
2x Type 163 19x8.5J et44 Part No: 2282650, usual ebay selling price c. £1,200 per set of 4.

What are the differences between the 2 types please? Thanks for info.

your price must be non oem

genuine set of csl rims from BMW will be circa 2K!! I know because I recently bought a set for the gathering.:thumbs:

What about these? http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/121387296058 Thoughts?

Just check all the numbers as i have seen copy rims with the bbs stamps on them you need to read all the numbers on the front as i am sure they change
the last 2

hope this helps .

The front wheel width and offset are not CSL size...

These are 'CS' wheel-sets, 8" fronts, despite what it says on his add.

The price quoted in my previous post is for a used/refurbed set of 4, look out for seller: 'haroon1951' he periodically has refurbed CSL wheels for sale.

if you don't have the originals, you might as well get something like TE37 or anything else that is light and forged. Unless you are hell bent on have originals. But then again you can get an original set used and refurb them when they come around.

Thanks for all the info, very helpful, although seems a minefield! Happy to get an original used set & refurb, its finding an OEM set tho!
Just called my local stealer, £2320 for a full set.
