That's the BBS wheels for the Japanese market. It's not the LM but it sure looks quite similar. It is silver finish.

no it is the LM igot the pic from the owner on a previous thread from his car he stated that it was the BBS LM

ii did CMANS i was almost ready but then started reading and saw some other ones i can get, they are just out of stock.
Actually, they weren't. I spoke to VM direct and talked to the General Sales Manager (Gideon). They had the Hyper Silver ones in stock, which are limited edition. There are 3 colors. Super Silver (boring), Hyper Silver and Hyper Black. Hyper Silver has a coat of metallic black before the final, silver coat is laid. From a straight on view, they look similar to the Super Silvers, but from an angle, you can see the black. It's really sweet.

I get my wheels on Tuesday and will have them mounted Wednesday. I went with GE UHP tires from TireRack.

Here is a picture of the color. The CSL wheel on the left is the Super Silver. The picture on the right is the new Audi wheel in HYPER Silver. Therefore, just picture the left wheel (CSL) with the color/finish of the right wheel. I'm stoked. I think it will look awesome!
