Is anyone running BBS LMs?

Post by junglist » Fri Feb 21, 2014 1:36 am

Pretty scene I know but is anyone running a set of these on their roadster that could share some photos? Preferably in 18" and silver...

Or is anyone kind enough to do me a Photoshop if I post a pic of my car?

Came across this on StanceWorks, and oooooooh, so much want!

This is running on airbags though so I don't know if they'd look as good with just being lowered 30mm.

That rear tyre profile is far too much. Needs lower profiles and lower body height.

Have to agree. Way too much tyre going on.

That last pic is breathtaking though. :thumbsup:

No it doesn't, it gets all crash and thumpy and wrecks the ride as i experimented wit that before purchasing OEM sized PSS last week. It is very good the way it is. :D

The ride is probably better but your rolling radius must be out which will affect your speedometer readings?

Completely agree with you on the crashy ride with lower profile tyres, but the lm's don't suit huge chunky tyres.

They do look good, just needs maybe 35/40 profile fr/re tyres to complete the look.
