Does anyone know exactly what kind of wheels these are? (some brand of CSL replicas I think?)

Also, were the fenders rolled on this car?

Thanks for the input.

Those are M3 CSL wheels. You can buy replicas from modbargains or umnitza.

Thanks for the response. I'm wondering if anyone knows EXACTLY what wheels they are. What brand. Maybe where they can be found. They don't look like they have the indentation where the 'M' sticker would go. They also look like they're a matte finish.

Again, thanks for the responses.

Those aren't CSL reps. They're Champion/RAC RG4s... forged in Japan under 8,000 tons of pressure. Extremely light and high quality and look surreal in photos. I still think genuine CSLs look better though.

He speaks the truth

I personally like them better than the OEM CSL's, of course they run almost $4,000 for a set of 19's

Well, it appears I have expensive tastes. Thanks for the info guys. Those wheels don't look very shiny/polished. How are they finished? Does that pic accurately represent their color?

Thanks again!

that are not some crappy product by umnitza, so please dont buy it from him. they are top notch RAC wheels (forged by the same factory that makes champion motorsport wheels) not to be confused with an umnitza product... problem is, they are pretty damn expensive....as of right now, they have only come in the painted silver finish, but a buddy of mine (RIP Fred B) had a set powdercoated gunmetal and they looked great.

PM "Kevlar" the car pictured is his car, so I'm sure he'd be able to tell you.

They are indeed high quality Japanese wheels as said before BUT they are still Replicas of the CSL wheel.

m3j0n: do you have a personal beef with the company Umnitza?

They are a high quality replica of the original CSL.
Ours is a lower quality replica of the same original CSL with E36 M3 fitment (the poster's car).

the Kevlar wheels are incredible, no comparison except in similarity of design to ours.

They are lighter, stronger, forged etc. But they are 5X more expensive. Ours are cast.
