18" BBS LM For the E55

[lopes80]

Finally got th LM's finished after what turned out to be a very long refurb. Very happy with the end result.

New valves and some very expensive rubber going on tomorrow, can't wait!

Nice Rims lopes80. Looking forward to see how they look on the car.

Very nice. Always loved BBS rims since I had them on my Mk2 Golf in 1988.

My budget doesn't run to BBS for my Benz, so I am going to get the Dotz Mugello Dark rims, which don't look too dissimilar.

Thanks guys.

Tyres now on, just playing around with the offset (spacers) 25mm at the front is good but the 9" rear is rubbing and needs to be no more then 28mm..

Preview!

Can I ask what they cost?

I prefer the 19's TBH

2.5k maybe more.

I didn't want 19's, I had 19" amg split and I prefer the drive on 18's.

the LM`s look the nuts Paul, im surprised you didnt like the ride on the 19`s, i dont find it that different to the 18`s.

Thanks mate

Its not so much like but prefer. If you changed your wheels to lightweight 18's you would know what i mean mate.

Lovely

you can usually get second hand sets for about 1k-1750 with tyres

 

[nick.ged]

there are loads of fake lm's around, be careful when buying

Replicas are quite easy to spot as you can't actually split them so won't have bolts on the back. Fakes won't have BBS stamped on them either.

Anyway more pics please!
