I'll take the minority view. I like the modern "minilite" look better of the two. Although I realize that BBS LM is period correct.

I have the LMs on my car, but the OZ's look pretty darn nice. Maybe the LMs in the OZ color?

If it was my car, I'd go with the Oz wheels, I just prefer the simpler look. Not to say that the LMs are bad, choices between two GOOD options is always difficult, but you can't go wrong either way.

Do you plan on cleaning the wheels yourself?

OP, I know you asked which wheels look better. But also consider cost, and cleaning like Gonzilla said, and how the roads are where you live. They are a PITA to clean and pretty expensive. Luckily my car came with them, but personally I dont think I would pay full price for them. A nice set of MY02s or those OZ wheels are great looking, and if you hit a big enough pot hole, they are a lot easier to replace.
