Miro CSL wheels replica questions

Has anyone purchased these? What do you think of them? Here's the link to wheels http://www.**********s.com/product.a...tyle_wheels_JY

Interested in comparing them to Velocity & other CSL replica manufacturers - why would you choose the Miro CSL over the other manufacturers?

Thanks a bunch for taking the time to respond!

Not sure about the Miro but you cannot go wrong with the Velocity CSLs. We have carried them for over 2.5 years (since they first came out) and have had great feedback and success with these wheels. They are JWL and VIA certified and produced in an ISO9001:2000 approved facility- meaning you are getting a quality wheel that is not just a cheap replica. Miro makes a great wheel as well but I have only had experience with their other styles- M6, M5 etc...

Miro's CSLs are actually pretty good. Their quality is the same superb quality as Velocities, and from what I hear, are lighter than Velocity's. Also, Miro offers the offset specifically for the e90/e92s like the M6 replicas. Maybe Ron or Mike can chime in on this.

Thanks - I've read some posts where folks have bent their Miro & Velocity wheels, which makes me nervous. Look forward to the dealers chiming in with their comments.

Yeah, it's pretty late, i don't even know why i'm on e90post right now, i gotta wake up in less than 7 hours.. hahaha

anyway yeah, i think the times you've heard about the reps bending might've either been ones that were bought through ebay from no-name companies claiming Velocity or Miro, or the driver just hit a really big bump/dip or something.. haha I mean, the reps can't be THAT cheap, they passed the VIA and TUV certifications lol

The only time I have had a Velocity wheel bend was when a customer slammed into a curb at 40MPH which is expected. Otherwise, I can honestly say, I have never had a CSL wheel bend under normal driving conditions.

As mentioned - hit something hard enough you can bend it. But after selling the wheels for more then 3 years, having them on our cars here for years. Having people report back from track experience - the CSL's are an amazing value for their money (and they look great).

Really new product that just recently came out - I am sure more pics will be available in time as people start to post up as these are just now coming to the market. They do look great there are a few pics on our site as of now.
