So ive been planning on buying some rims, but trying to keep the cost down as much as possible. Especially living where i do, you really only get the enjoyment of driving with the rims for about 6 months of the year...
so anyway i found these...what do you guys think?

I dunno - I'm kind of iffy when they choose to use pics of cars with REAL BBS rims in the ad. That bothers me. I mean the black M5 in the second pic was posted here and the wheels SAY BBS on the lip for crying out loud!!!! I would be cautious when they are trying to fib this much, seriously.

Those look pretty good, but in the advertised pictures, they are 20" not 19". With the step lip, these whhels will look like 17" or 18". A bit too small IMO.

Those look like the Linea Corse Le Mans wheels, or they could be replicas of the Linea Corse Le Mans which are replicas of the BBS LM? I REALLY wish they made the Linea Corse's in 20'' and in E60 offsets. I had them on my E46 M3 and they looked almost identical to the real deal.
Try looking into Linea Corse as they have proven replica wheels that should cost no more than $1,300. Or wait for a used set of wheels to pop up in the forums here, used = best deal!
