Hi Brian, they are CSL replicas, I really do like the look but they ruined the handling due to the weight and possibly the offset is a little out. The new Hartge's are really light so should handle much better.Hi lewy,
Welcome, what wheels are on your Z just now?The look really good and suit the Z.
Would love to pick up a nice set of light CSL's again though

Although the width is 8.5j all round I'm running 225/40/18 front and 255/30/18 rear.
The holy grail for me would be 8.5j fronts with 10j rears but haven't come across any yet.
Mainly the unsprung weight is too much, they're fine for the heavier E36 / E46 but not for the little Z
The 8.5j fronts fit really well do you have any issue with them rubbing against the plastic arch? It is really hard to come across a staggered set as you have quoted above, you almost need two sets (1 x 8.5j set & 1 x 10j set) and them split them.

I think 10's on the back of a 2.8 will be pushing it, you may find you have internal clearance issues at the back, may be worth trying a wheel first for fit

And a winkle pin to get it out!
Great looking car LEWY and welcome from me too. p.s. I trust you have another set of number plates for m.o.t. day?
