I'd like to go with wider spacers but will need to get hub centric ones longer bolts otherwise it would be too dangerous.

Do a lug conversion and get those slip on spacers off ASAP. They aren't safe at all.

BMR sell spacers suited to our cars which come with longer bolts: http://www.bmraw.com/bmw-wheel-spacers/

so glad you didn't those wheel are hot and unique... CSLs are everywhere now... one of the main reasons i went satin on my OE wheels...

If we are talking about rare colours, have anyone else seen another "ugly green" 335I in Australia?

I think I win the rare colour award...

With the CSL, is it the M359?

I saw a lot similar 359 style rims on the market like the GTC, avant garde...
But the avant garde M359 looks exactly like the genuine bmw 359 rims.

Is avant garde a quality brand? Where can I buy them? I can only find some eBay sellers from USA but can't find anyone selling it here locally.

I'm sure there's more. I saw a similar colour on an X5 but upon closer inspection it was slightly different.

Not sure about how they are as a brand but I think ozzytyres may stock it. Their website is a bit hard to navigate but I found this on a google search...

My 2 coupes together...

It's amazing to see how the 3 series coupes have grown in size over 13 years. Celebrating my M3s 20th birthday this year. Still going strong.
