CSL 19x8.5 vs 19x9.5 vs 19x10

AWe90 · 10-11-2011, 05:45 PM

So I am going to be picking up a set of "CSL style" wheels shortly....but I cannot decide on the dimensions or how concaved I would like them. Does anyone know if there is a good thread comparing the different dimensions and how they look on an e90 sedan? 'Cause that would be awesome....

Just do the 10, a lot of guys on here run 10 width in the rear.
9.5 and 10 isn't a very big difference.

There are a ton of different CSL wheels that are available. If you're looking for a set, I would recommend that you check out the Alufelgen CS7 setup. They are low pressure cast and do utilize the same manufacturing process as OEM wheels. Here are a few pictures of the 19x8.5 ET35 / 19x9.5 ET35 setup for the E9X 3 series for you to see how it'll look on the car.

10s in the front

These are a set of wheels I will be deciding to get or not to get in the next few months. I just don't like that the 8.5" wide wheel comes with +40 offset. I wish they were in the low 30's. (referring to VMR)

I simply prefer not to use spacers.

10s front, 11s rear!

Our CS7 is a good alternative. It uses an 8.5" ET 35mm and a 9.5" ET 35 which fits perfect on the E90 body.

Here's a comparison of the different concavity profiles of our VB3s.

19x10 rears will always look nicer since they've got a deeper concave face in my opinion.

I tend to agree....but does this deeper concavity compromise the structural integrity of the wheel at all?

With our wheels, no it does not.
