e39 with M3 csl rims

[pat656]

I want to put REPLICA CSL 18" staggered rims from EAS (http://www.europeanautosource.com/) on my 2003 525 sport.
I know I will need adapter rings to make the rims fit, will these change the ride on my car?
Also, do rep rims have less durability than the BMW rims...I am buying new rims because 3 of mine (stock BMW) are bent from the grates on the highway (Augusta Highways are under construction and they are AWEFUL!!)

Thanks in advance.

Hi there,

We carry the Velocity Motoring CSL Wheels and find them to be among the best as far as replica aftermarket wheels go. These are JWL and VIA certified so they will meet or exceed DOT specifications in terms of strength and construction. We have worked with Velocity for over 4 years now and have never had quality control issues or problems with customers using these daily. They are an excellent choice if you are looking for a more affordable setup that retains the factory look as well.

but dont i have to have a bore adapter? how will the car ride with these (15mm)

You will need the adapters. Provided you stick with forged hubcentric adapters, the car will ride just like it does now. Make sure to invest in high quality adapters, that is a key component.

As in Nick's reply, VMR has a great quality wheel and with the right hub rings, you will not have any issues what so ever.
