Lightbulb (WTB) Can anyone get me 19"/20? BBS LM-R's for my IS-F?

I think if I can find these wheels for my IS-F, I may just forget the idea of selling her.....just realized why I love BBS wheels ~ sooo sexy!

I would want a 19" stagger fitment, price isn't that much of an issue, want my IS-F to look like this stance:


P.S. If I can find these BBS wheels, then my Advan RS-D would be for sale, virtually brand new

Good luck on getting BBS North America to make the wheels for you. I tried convincing the BBS marketing manager to make a set of these wheels for my supra for the last year but he says that they will not make it unless I have a set order of 500. Let me know if you can pull some strings.

Actually there is a way as I managed to get a set of rare 18" front/19" rears for my NSX but those were LM's. I want LM-R's on my IS-F and it seems that is the model they don't make in 5x114.3

aliu603: thanks for the PM - I will keep everyone updated on what happens


oh here's my NSX with those rare LM's...it's probably one of the few sets in existence since I have yet to see another NSX with this setup:

I know that you can get the LM's, but the LM-R's is only drilled in a 5x120 and 5x130 bolt pattern. Let me know if you are able to get them to make me a set of 19x9 and 19x11.

^Exactly what my source told me

Seems the LM-R only has BMW fitment options so this might be the right time for me to switch cars back to a e90 m3 sedan....

^LOL actually I kinda regret not getting the m3 only because:

a) I need fold down rear seats for cargo
b) We have an infant and need a middle for the rear facing child seat

Otherwise I love my IS-F but the way it sits right now I can only take my daughter in our two suv's.

You mind PM me the info on how to get a set of these? Do you know if they offer them in a 11" wide rear? I've been hunting these wheels down for years now and no one seems to be able to get them. Not even the North American BBS head guy!

The mystery continues....I get different stories from different people! ok at least that's goods there's a chance.

I'm open to either 19 or 20 LM-R's in gun-metal for sure like the m3 coupe shown above.
