Fellow CL member ASPLS430 had gunmetal LM's on his ride but he sold the wheels awhile back

Here's a link to pics of his car

It won't fit, not because of offset but because of bolt pattern. The GS is 5 x 114 and the BMW I believe has a 5 x 120.

so seize, how do i get these LMs to fit on my GS? I've heard of re-drilling but that doesn't sound so appealing.

edit: just read up wheel sizing on wiki; a great guide for those who know nothing about wheels =P

No need to drill. If you really want them, they actually come in our bolt pattern. Only thing is, they're only available in Japan.

I don't think tirerack will be able to get LM's in 19"s (well at least for the 5 x 114 bolt pattern). It has something to do with BBS North America and how they don't offer that fitment here in the US and they're not really accomodating when it comes to special orders. Trust me, I know, I've had my fair share of woes with BBS

I have to say, I like the silver finish much more than the gun metal. the gun metal make the wheels look even smaller.

We carry BBS as well, but just as GSxotic said these are their flagship model and importing them from Japan just make them even pricier!
