e46 CSL/ZCP Wheels are completely different than the replicas... They are made my BBS for BMW, and the replicas are not "the same". I had them on my e46 M3 and yes they looked cool, but they are not as hard or as light as the originals, the other thing is the shape of the spokes are different on the originals, if you look at the wheel on side view they undulate. It begins from the deep concave center on the rears and it goes out & in and out again to the edge of the rim... the front are not as deep (concave) as the rears, but the undulation on the spokes is noticeable as well. The OEM wheels only come in 19", replicas will be 18" & 19", but I repeat they are not the same... I had them both in my car, and the replicas were a waste of money... better off getting BBS wheels that actually fit the Ti's, you'll enjoy them more in the long run (Fit, Finish, Quality, Durability). Just my $.02...
