Looking to try and pick these up, really not too sure if i want to, since they look like knock off of the bbs lm's.
However, opinions and how much work would i have to do to get these to fit?

if you're worried about getting knock offs, you shouldn't be looking into replica rims in the first place :D
if you really don't care and looking for rims that give a good look to the car, i say go for it because they look nice

BlkTC

i did not even know they were bbs lm replicas lol.. ew..

but if you like em, get em. they don't look half bad... how much work depends on how low you are..

A well fit rim looks good regardless. No problems here with "knock offs" so long as they aren't of crappy quality.

Those look good imo.

save your money and do it right.

those are from the stupid fake luxury line of wheels from konig (privat wheels)

chicotunner07

the wheels are meh... but the size sounds good.

the rear will fit with 2-3 degrees of neg camber and fender roll + shaving rear bumper/fender tab

fronts you will need similar amount of camber, and depending on how low you are fender tab shave, trim fender liner/tabs, slight pull, etc etc

like it was stated before, how low you gonna go?

chicotunner07

oh, and for the fronts id stretch a 215/35, rears you can get away with 225/40 or smaller

You would most likley have to roll your fenders regardless of how low you are....dial in camber and maybe stretch tires if your really low

the curved face screams knock off. real LMs have a flat face.
I wouldnt do it.

@BlkTC -- i dont really know if they are knock off of the lm but that is what they look like to me.

@Domo -- no worries just seeing the opinion everyone has, if they could actually be pulled off. My original saving i have come up with is for some ssr professor ms1

@chicotuner -- thanks for all the info, im going to go as low as i can.

@09SocalTc -- yea just seeing what everyone thinks about these since they were just released, really wanting to still get my custom set of ssr professor ms1

@XIEmperorIX -- there only like 200 something per wheel i believe.

hmm these are not quite bad at all! the second ones are what caught my eye.
18x8 et 35 F
18x9 et 35 R



or these

BLUEMEANIE

The first set are a pretty dead ringer for the bbs lm.
The second set I have never been able to place exactly. I happen to have them and they're great quality. No complaints from me.


All rims to some extent are a copy of another. The popular mesh wheel at the moment is bbs. They've been making them forever but I bet they didn't make the first mesh wheel. The design is based on classic 2 and 3 cross spoke wheels.

Why doesn't everyone complain about every five spoke star patterned wheel being a Campagnolo knock off?


[edit] What really kills me is when these self proclaimed 'ballerz' or wheel ****** spend a grip on high end wheels then cheap out on ____ty ___ knock off coilovers so they can get their 'moar lowz'. ...don't get me wrong tho, I only gripe because they do.

which set do you have?!
the M-TEN80S or the MO-2 S?

ihavenosn

This is a knockoff of the LM-R, not LM.
