nice looking but 19's are to small and I dont like the way the face of the wheels have such a thick rim where the bolts are. Its going to make the wheels look smaller. Size matters. Look at all of the cars posted with the wheels on them and look at how they look smaller than they should. Dont get me wrong BBS make world class wheels but I think a set of Volks, Rays, or anything else Japanese will look great and still get the guys on the forum to drool. I have a set of TSW Snettertons that are not even in the same price range ( cast vs 3 pc forged) but I constantly get requests from other members for pics, wheels specs, etc for my wheels because they look hot and wont break the bank in 20's. you will be happy either way. Good luck and enjoy buddy

I've talked to BBS here in GA about LM-Rs for the GS before. They only make then for the LS in 20s.

Heart attack is not the word.

lol and i don't think lm-r looks close to as good as the LM already

i had a chance (like i would take it) to get a set of lm in 20s for the m3. almost new i guess (so in other words, used) for like 6k. i passed out for about 5 secs

haha well that's kind of what i feel. i didn't do much research to see if that 6k price tag for 20s are a good price or not (btw, that's price with tires, sorry if i mislead), but still....

i know a few years ago when exchange rate was still very much favorable, my friend imported a set of lm in 19s and it was almost 5k? forgot, but it was some ridiculous number
