^^^Not yet unfortunately. Haven't had time to monkey with them yet. Hopefully within the next couple weeks they will be done along with some other projects...

I had a set years ago. Very cool BBS's - similar to LM's with 2 piece construction but with magnesium alloy forged centers. The centers are curved/convex but not as much as the E88.

Don't think I've seen a set in over 5 years...

They went for $7k plus fees plus $900 shipping...looked really clean from a reputable wheel seller on BAT...I just wasn't ready to pull the trigger without doing more research...
