BBS LM replicas

[leon263 0]

Has any-one received their 17x7.5 LM replicas as part of the recent group buy. If so have there been any fitment issues when fitting them to a VR6 with regard to caliper clearance. What is the general feeling with regard to quality, finish etc. Any comments welcome.

not got mine fitted yet :cuckoo: but they will accomodate some fairly big callipers by the looks of it, put it this way they clear my 323mm brembo's (just)

as for finish?? superb is all i'm gonna say :) i was also very surprised how light they are for a replica wheel.

Hi there!

 

Where can I find these BBS LM replicas now ?

The group buy topic doesn't exist anymore ???

Run mine since the beginning (march) and no issues, the laquers pretty thick (couple stone hits prove this). Still look like new (apart from see below)

 

Mine will have to be refurbed over the winter as some :bad-words: in a 5-series was too busy talking on his phone in Asda carpark to see me! I missed him but dug 1/4 of the N/S Rear into the kurb... :censored: :censored: :censored: Still proves how thick the laquer actually is!

 

As to buying, sorry mate the guys originally involved have given up for the moment due to the hassle of brining rims in from overseas for not a lot of profit.

 

Withthe VR issues think a Narrow (3mm smallest available) spacer's needed or some minor shaving of the caliper.

7.5 seem to be fine for the clearance however I had 8in which required a 5mm spacer.

What is the weight of these replicas ?

There actually not too heavy from memory.

Dunno, maybe Karl can weight his?

 

my 7.5x17's shod with Prada2 felt lighter than my 15 Estorils with Toyo-px4's when I was changing them though!
