« on: 20 August 2008, 03:27 »
Hello guys...I have the chance of getting a set of BBS LM alloys but would just like to ensure they are the right size before i were to make the purchase. They are 19"x8.5 5x100 or 5x112 not sure what all these figures mean which is why im posting here...thanks again!  :smiley:

My apologies to all, i didnt use the search button properly but then figured out how to use it.

http://www.golfgtiforum.co.uk/index.php?topic=72621.0

Basically i should be after 19 x 8.5 with a PCD OF 5X112.

Before any one asks. Yes they are replicas, £600 for a set of four alloys without tyres. Not too fussed if they are replicas or not as most people wont be able to tell the difference unless they are really close to the car or examine the alloy. Will keep u guys posted  :smiley:

Make sure you apply wheel protector to them before you fit them and re-apply everytime you clean them. The lacquer isn't great on the reps so needs protecting from brake dust and grime. If you do that they will stay tip top.

People can't tell the difference unless they are up close but as they are LM's you'll find people will try to lick them  :smiley:

Mine are...

19x8
PCD 5x112
ET 50

If your looking at 19x8.5 I think you might need a different offset.. ??

Yes red, here are some pics. This is one i attempted a photoshop, doesnt look too bad imo!



And the pics of the ebay page.











My idea would be to put these on till i can afford a proper set! (Remember im a 19 year old student...my dad bought me the car but refuses to buy goodies as such... :smiley: )

Look forward to comments!  :smiley:
