does average CL 2IS owner really prefer 10" rear?

and wheeldude, why did you have to make them in step lip? i was taking some closer look at the rear LM, they don't have step lip, or not as huge, the step lip is making the wheel look smaller

From what i've seen, 10" has been popular

The step lip is what the 10" LM's have

It's very popular with all the BMW's, people buy ours vs others simply because of that.

I have seen these right next to real LM's and there are pretty much dead on so i'm not sure which ones you are looking at....maybe an 18" or something not as wide

Yes, that size would work well

You're not too bright...
These reps, and many others have been around a while, and since Real LM's are around $1k per wheel, I'm sure BBS could care less.
I'll gladly take a full set that looks exactly like the "real" ones for the same price as one. Besides that, I would have to question the sanity of any one who would spend more than $4k on just wheels for a Lexus.

wheeldude, can you answer my oringinal question?

do you have a deadline when will the GB expire? like if we can't reach 5 person by let say the end of august, then are we getting refunds on the deposit? or we are just stuck with the deposit, regardless of the time period?

I'm not too bright? Sheeesh... I was only a BBS distributor for three years here on the west coast. I personally know the management at BBS USA...Trust me, they DO care, and I know of at least two wheel manufacturers slapped with "cease and desist" orders from BBS's lawyers. Over the last few years BBS basically bankrupt themselves in the pursuit of copycat manufacturers.

Also, there are those that would say buying a Lexus is a waste of money. A Hyundai Elantra is a perfectly fine transportation car.

Your name-calling was unwarranted and unnecessary. You clearly have no idea who you are talking to or what you are talking about. Go home, son!
