BBS LM's
« on: 26 July 2011, 20:30 »
Hey hey everyone,

This is my first topic, normally just watch from the wings.

Anyway I just lowered my 16v on Weitec GTs at the weekend (its first modification) and it got me thinking about putting on some different wheels. I then stumbled across these on eBay:

http://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/16-SILVER-BBS-LM-STYLE-ALLOYS-VW-Polo-Golf-Corrado-/260678373864?pt=UK_CarParts_Acc_Wheels_tyres_Trims_Car_Rims_ET&hash=item3cb1a451e8#ht_2455wt_1139

Has anyone seen a mk2 on LM's (replicas or not)? My thoughts were they are modern-ish design that would work well with the classic mk2 style.

What are your thoughts?

IMO, not very nice on a Mk2, and pretty sure they're not the real deal.
For that sort of money, you should be able to pick up some genuine BBS RM's

yeah they are definitely not the real deal.

I thought about getting some RM's being a tried and tested timeless wheel, but i would like something a bit different from the norm.

The trouble with BBS reps is so many are really poor quality.

LM's don't really work on a mk2.
