Just bin looking at a few last digits either side of mine,are the 19" forged M wheels,our BBS ones or the stock M3 19s.

The standard m3 wheels are the forged ones. CSL wheels aren't forged.

The standard m3 wheels are the forged ones. CSL wheels aren't forged.

In that case I'm surprised how many of the original owners opted for the standard M3 19s.

In your opinion the m3 wheels are the "better" option?

No,the CSL wheel is by far the better option IMHO,but according to the option lists quite a few picked the forged 19s,not on mine though:-D

I believe quite a few dealers incorrectly told customers that the Csl wheels could only be ordered with cups, hence the orders for standard 19" wheels.
