Summer setup (BBS LM) on my E90 LCI

BimmerPassion · 07-29-2013, 05:10 AM

Hi guys,

Decided to change my BBS LM's for these style 172 (reps). What do you think guys? At first look i wasn't convinced but now its growing on me.
May be i would repaint them in mat black or hyper silver.

They actually look great !

Moutamid · 07-29-2013, 05:18 AM

Looks nice

AWBimmer · 07-29-2013, 06:24 AM

Wheels and the drop make this look DOPE!

Thrakos · 07-29-2013, 06:38 AM

Look great! (and what perfect timing - a chap is selling a set of those locally and I was contemplating purchasing them - now I know what they'd look like on my car

)

Looks great!

wdeerfield · 07-29-2013, 07:07 AM

i like em! the e60 wheels look great on there

FlowState · 07-29-2013, 07:14 AM

Are you rolled in the front? What are your specs on the front?

I have an OEM set that I never mounted because of the front offset being +18 lol.

As i said, this is a rep set made for the 3 series. In the front its perfect fit to me, in the back a spacer will do the job. I'am running 235 tires on four wheels. These are stretched a little. Not my cup of tea. Thinking of changing the tires to 255 in the rear.

By the way, this is what it looked like with the LM's.

wdeerfield · 07-29-2013, 07:58 AM

you shouldnt have posted the pic with the LMs, now everyone will tell you that is better than the 172s..

Naw.. I prefer the look of the 172s

Olagüe · 07-29-2013, 08:54 AM

Nice wheels but I prefer the LM.

You didn't answer the question. I'm asking for the spec of the rep rims, not what size tire you're running.

thegrinchboy · 07-29-2013, 11:33 AM

Looks great.

DC_Oldboy · 07-29-2013, 12:09 PM

I think it looks great! Makes the car look stock though. The LM's made was slightly better.

Amini77 · 07-29-2013, 02:08 PM

I like these a lot! Hyper silver would make it look a lot better too.

EPT535i · 07-29-2013, 02:41 PM

Looks good, where did u get them at.

lilez19 · 07-29-2013, 03:28 PM

looks great !! any mods?? i love both wheels !

sbce90 · 07-29-2013, 09:20 PM

Looks really good, leave them as is - don't paint them.

Efini · 07-29-2013, 10:55 PM

sold the LMs?

BimmerPassion · 07-30-2013, 05:00 AM

Thanks guys. More pro than contra...

The BBS are not for sale

Ik don't know the spec of rims. I didn't really pay attention. I 'll check the inside when i go back on LM's.
