Torsten 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Actually im after a set of BBS LM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jim 1 Posted October 10, 2007 RIAL make a set that look very very similar to the LM's called 'Daytona' :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Yes, thats right. But they also only make them in 18" and up :( Keskin KT4 are also similar but unfortunately just similar .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rado-steve 0 Posted October 10, 2007 Doubt you'll find LM's in 17" in 5 x 100 PCD! IIRC mine are specially made for the BMW 1/2 series! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
KADVR6 0 Posted October 10, 2007 yeah i was rather jammy this year with alloys 8) the LM's were 99% mint, with really good dunlops. they were off a Jap car so 5/114.3, but i got some adaptors made in the states for £140 delivered. over xmas they will be getting colour coded centres, with chromed rims. i'm sure you can get lm's in 5/100, but they are rare, and very very expensive. karl Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 10, 2007 what offset (et) do they have? i found one set in 8.5 x 17" / 5x100 over here but they got some scratches, havent seen pics yet. the guy is asking 1800 Euro app. 1224GBP w/out tires .... Thats why im searching for some replicas, but this is also a stiff job !!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS VR6 0 Posted October 10, 2007 The 17 inch 5x100 LM's are not as rare as people make them out to be. They are just not a popular size. They are still in production and made in Japan. If you want to pay shipping from Japan you can get them any time...same goes for the 17 inch 4x100. Tyler...you got a clean Corrado...save up for the real ones...you'll be happier in the long run. Put the replicas on your mk3. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Torsten 0 Posted October 11, 2007 app. 1560GBP for a new set of 7.5 x17 ET40 4x100 What tires size can i go on 8.5 rims ????? 205 ? or minimum 215 ??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 12, 2007 bump - for some more replica LeMans wheels .... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RS VR6 0 Posted October 12, 2007 app. 1560GBP for a new set of 7.5 x17 ET40 4x100 What tires size can i go on 8.5 rims ????? 205 ? or minimum 215 ??? Probably 205's...at your height...maybe 215. Depends also on if you have fender work done. It also depends on the wheel offset too. My rear is a low 20et after the new lips. If I had more room in the fenders...I may have done 215 40's... Sorry for the poor image quality...I had to shrink the photo down so I can post here. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 13, 2007 actually im afraid of rubbing, thats why im asking. i have rolled fenders all around and a coils. i dont wanna lift up the car when im getting some 8 or 8.5 rims. im currently im rocking 7.5 x 17 et35.

Jim 1 Posted October 19, 2007 Try and get hold of the user Oichan on VW Vortex... i'm sure he'd help a fellow Corrado owner out if you really needed help! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 22, 2007 or should i go with rs301 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
_leon_ 0 Posted October 22, 2007 I'm thinking of getting LM's in the future. Gwerks I think can sort them out for you. They're not cheap however - you could buy another Corrado for the money. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
vwdeviant 0 Posted October 22, 2007 I'm thinking of getting LM's in the future. Gwerks I think can sort them out for you. They're not cheap however - you could buy another Corrado for the money. Yup and not cheap from my "Mini" source either (Guy who works at Cowley).. He can't actually get them for his Mini as they are special order..he did offer me 18" Cooper Works wheels though.. hmmm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The price is not for the faint hearted!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 22, 2007 the 2nd main problem is finding a set of LM Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Torsten 0 Posted October 26, 2007 a few days ago i read somewhere in the i-net they made some really nice replicas in Italy. They call them Lemans design but i cant find a company name or a shop where to order them. They look very close to the original BBS Lemans. Who knows anything about it ......????
