Well, I bought my car with the CSLs...And I honestly do not like them all that much. The 18" bothers me more then the wheels themselves.
My dream wheels would be Fiske FM5s, however, They are slightly out of my price range.
I do like these very much (on the Black E36)

Any one know what that ^^^ wheel is?
Any suggestion welcome. As I said, I like Fiske FM5s and whatever those rims on the black E36 are. But, I'm not made of money :shifty
Edit: BTW, Ground Control Coils are going on in a week or so, so I will be slammed!

My vote goes for a set of V710s:
Velocity Motoring 19" V710 Wheels (http://www.jlevistreetwerks.com/Wheels-Velocity-Motoring/c57_77/p1755/Velocity-Motoring-V710-19-Inch-Staggered-Wheel-Set/product_info.html)

The wheels on the black E36 look like SSR Competition. They aren't the cheapest wheels out there, but they are less than Fiske's. I believe the tirerack carries them.

They look like Work wheels. Rota makes a copy of them called the "boost" too. Mostly made for Japanese imports I think.
Your CSL's are sweet. I'd keep them or go with the velocity motorings.

the csl's look great!!! honestly one of my favorite wheels for an e36. ssr competition wheels are on the black m3. the ssr's look so simple, not much going on.
can't go wrong with bbs rc/ch:D (kind of resemble csl's, seems like you like a more simple wheel)

I do not mind the looks of the CSLs. I just think that E36s need 17" and I hate that they are replica wheels.
I figured the wheels on the black e36 were SSR type Cs but, I did not see any thing on them so...
And yes, Those BBS CH/RCs are sick. I'm seriously stuck on what wheels to get. I think Estoril is a hard color to match with wheels.

Estoril is a tough color to match w/wheels. Just keep looking around the forums, there's plenty of Estoril's with different wheels on them.
Think i found the wheel for you, there's still 18"s though/reps for an e36. M Parallels:)

I love the SSR Comps, but really anything looks good on Estoril. Those are 18" SSR's in that pic.
oh, and I recommend getting camber plates with your coilovers.

Those are 18" SSRs?
Hmmm... :cool
Are you recommending me camber plates due to a past experience?

An 18" SSR Comp is still lighter than our stock wheels. Nothing wrong with 18's on our cars imo as long as they don't weight 30lbs.
At some point you will wish you had the plates. They help fit wider wheels in the front and will greatly improve the car's handling. They're very easy to install when upgrading to coilovers. I recently installed coilovers/camber plates and the car feels amazing.

Typically, I've always preferred the look of 17"s. However, it all depends on the style of the wheels, and in the case of the SSRs, 18"s look :drool:
As far as camber plates, I'm just unsure if I want to drop the $$$ on them. :dunno

The 17" SSR's look good too. Check out this old thread (http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum/showthread.php?t=310546).

CSLs, the classics take the cake for me. We have an 18" staggered set-up if you like.
