I have an opportunity to purchase a set of slightly used 20" BBS LM's in Silver.
I currently own a 19" set of BBS LM's in Silver installed on the car for maybe 1 month now.
What would you do if you were in my place:
Option 1
Buy the 20" LM's and sell the 19" LMs. End of story.
Option 2
Pass on the 20" and keep the 19" LMs. I also have an opportunity to purchase an almost new set of 20" Radenergie R10's. The price of the of the R10's would be the difference I have to pay to upgrade from 19" to 20" LMs. I just about get 2 sets of wheels for the price of the 1 set of 20" LMs.
Your thoughts?

Official wheel addict! Wow it costs a set of used Radenergie R-10s to upgrade 1'' in BBS LMs? Can you sell the 19'' LMs and pick up the Radenergie's for almost the same?
My heart says 20'' LMs but my wallet would say Radenergie's which are a close second to one of the sexiest wheels ever. What are the sizes/offsets in the 20'' LMs? The Radenergie's seem like they will sit super flush.

Option 3
Purchase a set of DPE wheels from Michael @ Acute Performance.
I like the look of 20s better on our car especially since the LM is a steplip wheel. Get the 20s or go Option 3.
