Default C'mon, guys...

...stop the shullbit about BBS LM and RS GT, weird-looking related designs, and whatever. They're all just RUBBISH, compared to BBS LM-R. Why are you not getting this? Hahaha

The only thing I've seen here that can really compete are the Fuchs replicas, provided that they're at least 18 inches. Oh, and also that colour is right (body and combo).

would like to see some more angles of those wheels on that car...especially the fronts. Be interested in knowing the width's/offsets also.

BBS LM-R (with spokes custom painted "Steel Grey") and Michelin PS2. Front: 19x8,5 ET55 235/35-19 Back: 19x11 ET63 315/25-19. Also 15 mm H&R spacers (DRM) in each corner, and H&R coilovers. No rubbing, but in the front that's with only a whisker's margin. Tight!

K28s are the best Kinesis design ever, imo. The curves of the mesh are just fantastic. Love 'em.

Diggin' that E30 M3 outside too. Had a mint '88 in Lachssilber myself.

Thanks! And no, I didn't have to roll any fenders. Still, margin is literally zero (in the front, that is, space in the back is...ehrrmm..."ample"....), and I don't think all cars are identical down to a single millimeter. Therefore, I guess one shouldn't count on similar dimensions working on other S- or Turbo-cars as well. I actually did the math very carefully before fitting anything at all and my mind was then fully set on having 12 mm DRS spacers custom made and fitting longer bolts to the car, since I didn't want to disfigure the fender insides. But thought I'd first try the 15 mm's out just to verify that it wouldn't work. Much to my surprise it did!
