    Do they make BBS LM replicas?

    I'm looking for some BBS LM 4x100 17x7.5 eta25 replicas or even cheap used or new wheels that are atleast under 1000 bucks. I'm I just dreaming or are they out there to be had?

        There was an old FS on RS replicas but they're not 3 piece like real ones, and only come in 17"s. They're also very heavy (the replicas). I don't know where that thread went. Lemme look....EDIT: Can't find it.


        This is for a real set of 15" in ATL. I remember asking him how much he wanted, somewhat cheap too!

              Oh man! those RS's are nice too! Are their any kind of 4 to 5 lug adapters or part I could swap? I saw a kid in my auto tech class changing a wheel bearing on his e30 325i and it looked like it would be possible to swap it out with an m3 wheel bearing to get the 5th lug?

                I'd say $900 is about right for discontinued BBS RS'.

                  A bearing does not affect the lugs, you would need thew whole m3 suspension for a 5lug swap.

                  I WILL have 18x8 BBS LM's (or a quality replica) on my car. I dont care if I have to swap to 5 lug or do something stupid to get them on, but I will.

                    Well the bearing part had a 4 lug disc sorta thing attached to it. So it looked like it be possible to juss get a bearing from an m3 with a 5 lug disk thing on it. But then again I know next to nothing. Im tryin to learn though.

                      4x100 BBS LMs came in 17" and 18". I've seen 18s for sale on a UK wheel shop (I'll see if I can find the site).

                        Didn't Mike Abrahams kick this idea around some time ago? He posted about 4 or 5 pics of popular modular wheels (mainly BBS) that he was looking into having replicas made.

                        Whatever happened to that idea? I haven't heard/seen much since that thread so I'm assuming its not materializing.

                          That was LONG ago...... no one ever head about that idea again. I'd still be willing to consider getting some 16" LMs if Mike reconsidered, but oh well.

                            Wow, back in the days of e3s. I always had that thread bookmarked to see if anything ever came of it. But seriously, I think if the community threw enough support behind the idea someone would take up the cause. A petition perhaps, but to whom?
