Diamond Black BBS LM-R

[rikwheeler]

Hi guys,

Been looking for a set of wheels to replace the standard LCR wheels for a while now.
Been looking at the different BBS alloys available and love the Diamond Black BBS LM-R alloys: http://www.modbargains.com/BBS-LMR-Porsche-Wheels.htm

Does anyone know if there's a set available which will fit an LCR as a lot of them seem to be made to fit BMWs. Also, where's the best place to get them.

Any advise about what size/offset of wheel I should be looking at would also be great as a lot of sites give a ET size and not sure which one I should be looking at

Biggest problem is spoke design, the brembos are chunky calipers and foul them
Could be spaced out to suit but you would need to be the guinea pig
I think we have ET38

Seen the alloys on a BMW with the red centre caps which look awesome: http://farm5.static.flickr.com/4046/4364116575_f7589ca5ef_b.jpg

Been looking further and also found the BBS RG-R wheels which I believe you can get for the Leon?
Cannot really tell the difference between the LM-R and RG-R?

Very nice choice of wheels. Think you would be alright on the rears its the front which is a slight pig. Would most likely need spacers but then not sure whether it will stick out too much. Guess some stretch tyre could be used so that it don't look too far out of the body work

Wish i could find some red bolt covers and those center center caps! What a hard job !

most of the reps dont look like on that BMW. the outer ring is like 2 rings. and looks like shite. on the ones i had orderd. did not fit them,

Just found out the price on the BBS LMRs: About 5K with tyres
However have just found these reps so think I'm going to go for them. What do you think?

Reeva Wheels are used by several people on this forum plus I have a mate who used them to get a set of BBS CH reps for his golf. They are good quality. You will just have to see what size spacers you will need to get them to fit over the brembos!

Have spent ages researching alloys now and it's giving me a headhead lol
Absolutely love the BBS LMR on the BMW but as you say, the reps may look crap.
Was debating weather to powercoat them red as the engine bay now has all red hoses but think they'll look a bit wierd

Ok cheers. For the price I may just get them anyway and I'm sure someone will buy them off me if i'm not happy. Now need to decide weather to go for 18" or 19"

I'm still not sure. Been playing around with designs on Forza 3 but unfortunately it won't let you paint the standard wheels.
I'm getting the following stripes on the bodywork: http://www.car.rikwheeler.com.
Here is a video with red wheels. Still can't work out if I like it or not: http://www.rikwheeler.com/redwheels.3gp

Red wheels will suit a black car with out a doubt
