And Alufelgen wheels only have 7 of those split spokes(not really sure what they are called). VMR's have 8, which are accurate to CSL's

Not sure why Alufelgen's are called CSL replicas.

His car is pictured with alufelgen sf-71, the alufelgen csl reps are called CS7...

Alufelgen looks much better IMO, when I pick up some wheels pretty soon I am definitely going with alufelgen over vmr. I have heard a lot of issues about the finish being cheap on vmr, and I like the shape of the alufelgens better (since it is so close to oem).

vmr
the csl rep by alufelgen look close but not as much concavity as the vmr 19x10 in the rear.

Replicas. Pick by weight.

This may sound like a dumb question, but is there a way to tell which ones you have? My car came with CSL replica wheels, but there are no markings on the inside to say what brand. They are 8.5 front, 9.5 rear, and with BMW center caps.

Correct. Here is a compare between the SF71 and CS7.

Checkmate

Had some free time earlier this week to Carbon Wrap my dashboard pieces, and go take some quick shots of my ///M3 and my new CSL Style Wheels :thumbsup2: I love the new look!

if i recall correctly.. you are running a squared set up...the rear offset was never my issue it the front offset of the VMRs.. you car look good of course! so run a staggered set up with the same size as mine and see how that looks and you'll see what im talking about when i refer to VMR as "FAIL"

RAFF112 · 09-12-2010, 01:07 AM

Alufelgen>vmr

Redman M3 · 09-12-2010, 08:06 AM

Sorry for interupting this thread but crimson whats up with your BS SIG?????

"We will never forget but will forgive" Are you Serious ???? You do realize that the people who did this are terrorist and do not care if we forgive or not. They will kill your family in a instint if they could. People like you need to wake up and realize that this is very real.

Again sorry for jacking this thread....

Well you recalled incorrectly because I'm not running a squared setup

19x9.5 +22 (again, no spacers...)
With 245/35/19's.
19x10 +15

staggered = fail
square = win
your life = fail

VicRod88 · 09-12-2010, 12:43 PM

VMR in 10" rear look really nice.

Full-Lock · 09-12-2010, 08:06 PM

go oem
trust me ..never look back since..

Project SSAP1 · 09-12-2010, 09:08 PM

ok so wtf is wrong with everybody and running wheels with stretched tires???? All those aggressive fit VMR wheels have stretched tires and its soooo lame! Get some wheels and tires that fit properly...and the term "stance" is sooo wack and shouldnt be in the BMW world IMO..LOL...ok rant over...with that said

Alufelgen CS7 > VMR VB3 in terms of best looking rep csl wheels HANDS DOWN!

aggresive square > staggered though. Concave in front and year + the ability to rotate tires/wheels = WIN.
