Default Re: ORSMT-2 is finally here!!!

These are the wheels I'm going to order next week




BB5 LM's, BBS LM replicas. They've been around US & Europe since '08/'09, heaps of people bought them, until BBS America made a law suit against them for copyrights and won. Not here in Oz though, they're still advertised as BB5.

Now, being replicas, they're obviously much more afordable, reasonably weight as well as being one piece vs genuine modular LM's. Design wise, they're very close to originals:

They can be ordered in custom PCD, as well as any offset between +20 and +45, choice of 18x8, 18x9, 19x8.5 & 19x9.5''. Because of the design of the wheel, 18's would look too small, so I'm getting staggered 19's with rear wheels in +20 offset to fill those monster rear wheel arches.

I'm getting them from this place:http://www.allwheels.com.au/product....&cat=84&page=1
Cost around $1280 for a set of staggered 19's. Off course, they're not the real thing, but at around $2K per rim, I dont think I could afford to spend $8K on a set of genuine ones.
