Question Huge Dilemma... BBS LM vs. RH 3.6 Wheels!

Well ladies, looks like I'm the proud owner of 2 sets of wheels. BBS LM 2-piece with black centers, NB fitment and the RH 3.6 Turbo 3-piece, NB fitment.

I've always loved both sets and now I can't make up my mind on which I like better. So which one should I keep? Unfortunately I can't swing both. One stays and one has to go. Help me decide please...

BBS LM


RH 3.6 Turbo

BBS are beautiful, but to me they draw the eye away from the car, whereas the RHs compliment the car more evenly...and are beautiful in and of themselves...the RHs get my vote!

I like the centers of the LM's, but like the lip of the 3.6. How's that for decisiveness? It's not like your going to end up with a bad set if wheels. I am thinking of selling the RUF's for some HRE 560c's. I like the lip.

I like big lips and I cannot lie...

Thanks guys, you both make very good points. And there is something about a 5-spoke wheel that's very classy. But my mind is not made up yet...

I may be interested in the 3.6 wheels if you decide to part with them. I really don't want to see the price of the HRE 560's

Would clearly need lots more pictures of both to decide

What about dark centers on the RH's?

Which offset on the 3.6s? If it's aggressive I say stick with those.

what a dilema to have, huh?

Personally, I'm not digging the black ceners on the BBS-might be different if they were gunmetal/graphite, etc.

The RH's are beautiful, but might wash against your Polar beauty. Again, a different color center might make them pop.

If I had to choose, the RH's get my vote.

Next year it'll be big $$ wheelset for me. I've seen what I want, even seen them on a members sweet C4S. Afraid to get the $ number though.

I, too, slightly prefer the LM's, but I am just not a huge fan of black wheel centers. If the centers were silver or grey, I'd vote unequivocally for the LM's. I almost bought a set of silver LM's for my car and clearly love the look of mesh wheels on almost any performance car.

That said, I will vote for the LM's.
