ZCP because it's easier to clean

4/18/2006 10:27:06 PM

another pic of the ZCP. I am more inclined towards the ZCPs...but 2 or 3 people have said the SSRs are more trendy....

4/18/2006 10:29:12 PM

those ZCP's are sick

get those

4/18/2006 10:34:23 PM

those zcp's are some of the best looking rims on bimmers that i've seen

zcp

4/18/2006 10:56:34 PM

for the record, i think the SSR looks better

but i still go for the more easily cleaned wheel

4/18/2006 10:58:19 PM

whats the price difference between the two rim sets?

4/18/2006 11:13:39 PM

spend a little more and go for:

4/18/2006 11:17:21 PM

The SSRs are ~$3000 on tirerack.com
and you can only get the ZCPs from a dealer, and I found a source to sell them for ~$1700!

4/18/2006 11:23:08 PM

I would have to vote the SSR GT3. I will have those one day.

4/18/2006 11:54:28 PM

I like them both, but ZCP seems more reasonable.

4/18/2006 11:55:02 PM

I like the ZCP's a little better to start with, and if you're getting that kind of deal--go for it!

the zcp's look like any other factory bmw wheel.

these are the shit.


the 545

4/19/2006 9:07:57 AM

that's b/c they are replicas of a factory BMW wheel

4/19/2006 9:09:42 AM

then why not just by some factory knock-offs? be a hell of a lot cheaper.

4/19/2006 9:33:12 AM

they are factory knockoffs of the OEM M3 CSL style wheel. and you are right...they are much cheaper.

ssr gt3

the ZCPs are not knock offs of the CSL. ZCP is a factory competition package that dealers sell.

the ZCP wheels are exactly the same as CSL except the fronts on the ZCPs are 8 inches instead of 8.5. In terms of looks, they should be near identical.

OEM CSL wheels are extra expensive and rare becase they are non-orderable in U.S.
OEM ZCP wheels you can buy at the dealer.

4/19/2006 2:17:33 PM

b/w the optoins above, i would go with the SSR...

i was actually looking at a set a while back when i was shopping for wheels.

the SSR comps would be nice also, too bad they've been discontinued

you may also want to look into iForged, J-Line, HRE (mentioned above), Kinesis, etc.

wtf is a rim

4/19/2006 2:21:15 PM

the reason against factory knock offs is because depending on how they're made, I heard they are softer than factory rims, therefore bending more easily. And some knock-offs are heavier than factory.

It would be analogous to going around sporting fake Pradas... might as well get a factory rim that is durable, looks good, and is the real thing.

4/19/2006 2:22:19 PM

i kinda like this one

4/19/2006 2:24:55 PM

CSL reps (ZCP) also with sparky on this, $899 for a set of 19's @ modbargins.com. I thought about some myself.

FYI: the CSL replicas from velocity motoring pass all road tests and have all the DOT approved certifications...meaing they are strong wheels. they are also fairly light at 22 lbs a piece. the major downside is that they are manufactured in China.

4/19/2006 3:15:08 PM

there's nothing wrong with them being made in china..

plus, addiwei is chinese anyway

4/19/2006 3:21:01 PM

thats a lot of money for some damn wheels.

screw the bling. my Kosei K1s were $175 a pop and weigh 16lbs each. done and done

4/19/2006 4:07:08 PM

dont put cheap wheels on an expensive car

and dont put expensive wheels on a cheap car

4/19/2006 4:12:43 PM

exactly.. same reason I'm not seriously considering the replicas.. The concave on the replicas in the rear is not as deep as the OEMs either.

4/19/2006 4:14:20 PM

after conversing with a few people, I think I'll stay stock


Thanks for the input guys

4/19/2006 5:54:10 PM

yeah thats a preaty good plan right there ^

4/19/2006 6:51:07 PM

your rims look hot right now but if u had to decide, id go with the SSR GT3

4/19/2006 10:38:12 PM

SSR GT3 by far. it's a simpler design to me

4/20/2006 2:08:22 AM

^4 what a waste of a thread lol.
