i've searched but couldnt find. trying to find a pic of a real BBS LM wheel side by side with a replica such as LC lemans or chikara LS1's.

i would love to pull the trigger on real LM's but i dont know if i have the heart to drop 4g's on wheels that will get roughed up.

it'll be the best investment u can make on wheels.
-
there are some used sets for sale if you search.//
idk if Tam@supremepower still has his gold ones. - just a heads up.

and between the 2 reps I'd go LC lemans.

can't see how any purchase on wheels is an investment since there's no way in hell you'll make a return on these. you'll most likely sell em at a loss, or breakeven but on a tvm basis that's still a loss. but i agree, they are the best mod in terms of aesthetics.

I believe BBS LM's are worth their weight in gold.
To me they are a solid purchase (investement) for the
dollar.
Compared to other wheels, the LMs right now hold up in resale
value because they are poplular.


You are correct it's not an investment that yields true gains.
and every investment is different.
But it's a wise purchase like any great wheel. I will
not define great wheel because that's another thread.

As an enthusiast, the LMs are a no brainer.
Key word is enthusiast - to an ordinary person it's just
a wheel to enthusiast its an investment.
i can say the same on baseball cards and nike shoes.
it's a niche market and all i'm saying is BBS LMs are AWESOME!



what so many have try to replicate.
because they are sick!
it's like wanting jordans and you go to payless to get knock-offs.
(extreme example)
they look like jordans but they are NOT.

i agree with everything above ^^, LM's are probably the nicest wheel, they do hold their prices, etc. i just get annoyed when others comment and actually believe that spending money on their cars is an investment. maybe if you bought/held a classic but 99% of the stuff on this forum does not fall under that category. i know someone who bought a mint ltw e36 m3, pristine, garage queen, less than 10,000 miles and recent appraisal after commissions shows him taking a loss. crazy.

I understand, and completely agree.
Wheels and cars in general are a terrible investment, the worst you could ever make perhaps, but if you are going to mod, at least mod with products that are in high demand so your return is better than that of products that lose value very fast.
woot woot I am an enthusiast!
