CS7 Vs. SF-71

Hello guys;

So I will be hopefully receiving my LeMans 335iX E90 end of the month and I can not, for the life of me, decide which rims to buy: either CS7 or SF-71

Set up I am going w/ is 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 both ET35 as I was assured this will sit well w/ E90 Xi.

Any last words of advice--any experience w/ these rims? At this point I want to go w/ SF-71. Planning on pulling the tigger at the end of month from **********s


cheers

The Alufelgen lineup of wheels are great as they are low pressure cast and do utilize the same manufacturing process as your OEM wheels. In terms of which design looks better, it really comes down to personal choice. The Alufelgen CS7 is a more classic "CSL" style design. The Alufelgen SF-71 on the other hand has a more concave design. Here are a few pictures for you to check out!

Alufelgen CS7

Here is a side by side shot that should help. ALUFELGEN makes excellent wheels.

Very nice, this is my ideal stance, are you on a stock or perf. suspension? And are those 19 x8.5 front 235/19/35 and 19 9.5 rear 265/19/30?

For some reason, I like the SF-71s best on sedans and the CS7s on coupes/verts. You'll be seeing the CS7s on mine soon*. (*I'm sticking as close to OEM as possible.)

A little photoshop (using the front wheel of the blue E90 above):
