How are these BBS LM Replicas ?

integlspwr · 09-24-2010, 12:20 AM

My friend is selling me his bbs lm replicas, but i wanted to know how close are these to the real thing?

I was looking at the spoke design, step lip, valve stem placement, rivet placement etc.

I'm getting it for a good deal,. but just wanted to know if they are close to the real thing or not.

I have a bad eye when it comes to BBS replicas, They are look the same to me.

To the untrained eye one would not notice after its finished off with the BBS cap. The real deal has BBS stamping near the center disc.

that's really close to the real ones.
the twin spokes are pretty dead on - it's slightly spaced more but good.
the step lip is decent - better than some reps out there.
-the bolts/rivets are a bit off / but it's a rep.

what reps are these?
and more importantly size and offsets.

I can vouch for this brand. Nice people and great customer service. It really made me iffy when I saw these wheels compared to my authentic LMs.

You'll be surprised and glad when you see who made these wheels....great bang for the buck!!

Go for it 'man!!
