My 108's are looking a bit sad as the rim has no paint left on it and they need a refurb.
Now I have found some bbs lm reps on the bay, £400 new, refurb on the 108 will be £400-500.
I have never bought replica alloys and was wondering if they will be ok? They seem cheap but maybe that's just me and that's the going rate for reps.
My car is maldeves blue, I think silver with chrome lip would look really nice, has anyone got any pics of these wheels on a maldeves blue z?
What do you guys think of these?

Try here have bought wheels from here & great quality & great service. Would stay clear of polished lips,look great but don't last. :thumbsup:
 
Agree with KERMIT on the polished lip , great initially & ok on a garage queen but day to day use will see them lose their lustre in 18 months :cry:
 
polished lips will continue to look good if you take care of them by maintaining them.

The biggest issue is grit in winter.

A bit of Autosol on a wet pad or rotary and you'll have them polished, then seal them with a good wax.
Or some chrome polish which is less harsh than Autosol.

No headache, not a long job either.

Boo the naysayers.
 
and those wheels are very nice.
Nearly went for LM's myself.

Price wise, most LM reps are cheap and plenty run them.
Personally i'd get the centre's painted hyper silver and keep the gold studs.
 
2 X 8 X 18" 5X120 ET38 ALLOY WHEELS ( FRONT )

2 X 9 X 18" 5X120 ET42 ALLOY WHEELS ( REAR )

Thanks guys, some good advice, these are the sizes of the wheels in the picture, as I have no idea about offsets will these fit ok? I don't want the wheels to stick out past the arches or anything like that I want the wheels to sit in the arches as they are now on 108's.
