18x9 +35
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

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?

@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.

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.
