Its Been a long 15 months.... (Pimp content inside)

[nismodrifter]

of school! So my brother bought some new wheels last week..


Yup! BBS LM's

They are Porsche Fitment so adapters will be required, the final stats on the wheels will be as follows:
Front: 18x8 ET30 (ET50 with 20mm adapter) with 235/40 tires - I have a feeling these will rub pretty bad.
Rear: 18x9.5 ET30 (ET55 with 25mm adapter) with 255/35 tires


OOOOOOOOOOOH YEAAAAAAAAAAH

Beside the car:

These are going to look totally pimp when on IMO.

And the Money Shot:

I am going to miss the lip on the Neo's but these will give the car a totally different style and I think it will look pretty darn good. Sadly, I don't think I am going to be able to drive the car with these wheels on in the near future :(

Those are rad. Did he buy them used? What do LMs go for these days?

They were used. The entire set up new would cost around 6100 - used they seem to be hovering around the 3000USD mark still.

The problem is that you have to go for the porsche fitment wheels unless you want to rub like crazy (they make a 5x100 ET25 wheel, but you cannot fit these without rubbing). So then the adapters themselves will add another $500 to the price of the wheels themselves and it gets really expensive quickly.

Then there is also the issue of finding them used (How often do you even see LM's? lol I think I've only seen a few sets in my life).

^^^ The wheels were just placed beside the stock Avus's when I took that pic lol its not going to poke that much (I think it will be flush or a tad bit of poke at most).

I cannot wait for summer

Re: Its Been a long 15 months.... (Pimp content inside)

22.5lbs in the front and 24.75 in the rear - I thought they would be lighter.

Adapters shouldn't cost that much, talk to the guy at www.wheeladapters.com

Wow, that's like $355.00 worth of lip you have there - well, and the buck 85 in CT money.

Giddyup. Jeez I miss my RCs.
