I'm on the same boat as well and have done tons of research on LM reps including size and color i wanted. Chikara rims are the only BBS LM reps that I've actually found threads on having issues where owner's wheels would break, not by hitting the curb or pot holes, just out of no where break. They'd break around the face of the rims about 1-2 inches away from the lugs all around so that's why I steered away from Chikara LM reps.
Luckily, there are tons of bbs lm rep options out there, to name a few:
Linea Corse Lemans (probably one of the most expensive bbs reps)
XXR 521's has similar style
Sonic Tuning's ST8 (comes with lugs and hubcentric rings shipped!)
Varrstoen es 1.1.2 (comes only in very aggressive fitment)
Miro
Eurotek
I'm sure theres more, but those are the ones I've came across. Good luck!

All of the reps have issues to some degree. The nice thing about the BBS originals is they stand behind their wheels.
I've played with reps in the past:
Linea Corse Lemans - busted two of these on the M5
Miro- busted one lm-r rep, this was their old design I'm told the new design is much stronger

I have have the varrstone rims
19x9.5 in the front and 19x11 in the rear front tires r 225 40 and rear r 235 45
They ride pretty good but I strecth the tires so they ride a Lil hard and feels everything on the road

Do not get those, you should get Varrstoens... they are a quality rep and most of all they actually look very very close to the real deal.. and they offer their own centercaps which is good for obvious reasons

What offset on this? A lot of neg camber? I'm considering trading mine for a set but worried about amount of work needed to pull it off.
