Best bbs lm reps?

i know.. reps suck, they put bbs out of business, why not buy real wheels, im a poser. blah blah blah

any way what are the best reps i would like 18 or 19 no 20's
also i want diamond black face with polished lip

right now im looking at mm6's from modbargins, varrstoen 1.1.2's, vortex tuning, miro's, and linea corse.

mm6's come in 19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R with a good color and look really good

varrstoens 1.1.2's same thing 19x8.5 F 19x9.5 R color is hyper black with polished lip and i think is darker than the diamond black real bbs

vortex same thing but there face is really dark

and miros and linea corse look nothing like real bbs

the question is does anyone have experience with mm6's, varrstoen's, or vortex

which ones look closest to real bbs lm's with diamond black face im going for this look on my e92 space gray

Have you looked at the Sonic Tuning ones? They look pretty good to me and I think the color is great.

Also, IIRC, Varrstoen no longer offers e92 non-M offsets.

I had the Linea Corse Lemans which are the LM reps. I loved them and they looked really good. Here's my car with them on: http://www.flickr.com/photos/m_truon...7626307685219/

linea corse look off the spokes are wrong idk how to explain it and yes i looked at sonic tuning but the mm6's on modbargins are same offset same color and offset and cheaper

correction sonictuning is cheaper by 100 dollars i may go with them no i just need to find nice caps i may go black bbs caps any one know where i can find 68mm caps?

Varrstoen with the big boy M3 offsets are the best. Hands down

Low pressure cast, lightweight for the sizes and a great finish.

You're going to throw BBS caps on your reps?

i was wondering the same thing. I like the ST8's but wish they came in black. I've bent a lot of wheels on DC roads, kind of hesitant to get 19's again.

Hit up Vortex Tuning. They have them in stock with nothing on them. You just need to buy a 65mm "sticker" to put over the chrome center.

The MM6 wheels have a good diamond black finish on them. I have them on my car, and I absolutely love them
