Genuine CSL rims should indeed cost around Ł1,000 from a dealer (although they shouldn't sell them to non-CSL owners).

They're a hell of a lot cheaper than the regular M3 19's!

Paul i know what you are saying there, for me whenever i want somthing i've gotta pay top money for it but when i'm trying to sell somthing people want to give me peanuts,

best thing to do is catch the people selling when there skint then your more that likely to pay a lot less than the asking price
