looks great. I just kinda feel like they deserve a center cap thing though. Not sure if others would feel the same way. I've always liked the bmw emblem anyway.

looks sick, always liked the CSL wheels on E46's, btw you might need a 15mm spacer on the rear instead of 10mm.

Thanks, ya, I have to pull my fenders a tad more to fit the 15mm w/o slight rubbing

It is more like a CF Fabric, you have to apply an adhesive like "3M Super 77"

Nice pics.

Also, I've always wondered if those CSL wheels are forged. Are they?

I do, but I don't like them. I ever ran center caps on my Z with Volks, so i've grown fond of the look w/o center caps. I fell like it looks more aggressive.

But, i'll most likely pick up some Black/Silver BBS center caps soon

Thread jack... here's my former M3. Loving the Z 10x more

Mind you I did have the convertible so that in my book is a BIG minus.

Love the CSL accents. Pretty hard to get the authentic OEM parts. Do you happen to have the CSL center console?

Nice stance! Needs spacers in the rear though.

Clean E46 though, love them! I'm actually thinking about selling the Z for one right now.

From your pics, it looks like you have atleast 15mm from the tire to the fender on your rears. Are your rears rolled? If they are, looks like you have A LOT of room to throw a bigger spacer in the rear without having to pull the fenders.
