these have been around abroad for a couple of years and i never understood why some enterprising trader didn't start shipping them in! over the last couple of months they have finally appeared along with the fake rm/rs style. i saw a set of fake lm's along side some of the genuine article at ultimate dubs and they weren't quite as good as i hoped. guess that's what you get with being a fake :tongue:

great price though! :)

for the money they are good but the actual shape of the centres are different, nothing huge but enough for wheel :nerd: to notice :grin:

i personally thought the reps jv is talking about looked utter crap. not bad in quality but not close enough to be classed as an lm rep. however i'm not sure they are the same as these ones. the reps the strictly dubs boys had on their passat were alot better.

I recommend them. They look even better when clean, they're a bit dirty in those pics. They are only single piece wheels but the build quality is as good as any other brand name wheel I have owned and as long as they are looked after I can't see any weak areas that are going to cause any problems. I coat mine in Zymol wheel protector so brake dust doesn't damage them, but other than that I have to say the finish and build is superb.

A couple of other pics before I fitted them:
