BBS LM Wheels

[3.2Q]

Im thinking of getting some BBS LM Wheels for my A3 in black with a polished lip. What are ur opinions of these wheels and has anyone got them on their car if so could you post some pics.

 

[Hellz]

Are you going for genuine BBS or the ebay reps?

 

[N8]

If your going for Genuine rims then awesome, but you won't see much change from £3K!

 

[scottie123]

have a look in the rimz thread. There are some lm's in there

 

[V6Pete]

I had 19" LM reps on mine (regular silver). They looked cool, but definitely go for 19's, as 18" LM's look über-small.

 

[3.2Q]

i'd have to go for some reps, would love some original BBS but cant afford to shell out that sort of money! Do u guys reckon i go for the black with polished lip or just plain silver??

What colour's the car?

 

[3.2Q]

Silver

 

[V6Pete]

Silver

Then black wheels without a shadow of a doubt!

Cool. Thats what i thought :icon_thumright:

After a set myself?? HOw much did pay. And Where??

 

[evocos]

LM reps are not very good,they look good for a while,then the chrome around the fake bolts start to lift
and water starts to get under the laquer.
I had them on my girlfriends 4motion so do know from experience

 

[N8]

I think anthracite wheels look good on a silver car, and no don't get LMs reps, get back to the drawing board

 

[S3RYE]

BBS LM Reps are the worst reps you can buy, every set i see look f**ed within months.. you can always tell they r copies when u look close too.. as evocos said they start peelin instantly cause of the design!

I dunno, mine looked fine, but were about 3 months old when I sold them.

I'm glad your summer rims are proper rims

Have to agree my best mate had a set of 19" took about 2 months for them to start lifting around the edge.

Conclusion of this thread then, LM Reps =

 

[3.2Q]

Haha fair enough. Time to start looking again. But I still can't decide on what finish to get, silver,black or anthracite

 

[afcjay]

The only thing with lms is it seems every tom **** and harry with a vag has them.

As for the rep alloys,heard alot of bad storys about the buckling and even cracking as the alloy is soft so if you looking to get a set id defo look for genuine alloys

 

[tyrrelll]

I love LM's, think they suit the A3 perfectly but yeh shame about the quality of the reps.

Ha Ha thats funny

i saw a set the other day and they were ruined the chrome was all but gone and they were badly corroded , steer clear of them , i was going to ge some for mine but decided agaisnt them after seeing some old ones they were ****ed too

 

[3.2Q]

Cheers for ur advice guys! I guess it's time to go back to the drawing board as reps seem to be a big no no! Now to try and decide on what wheels would suit my car. Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated here is a pic of my car to help

Replica Alloy Wheels + Budget tyres + rain = Sounds like an evening full of fun

i dont see the point of buying top brand tyres as my car is a daily so couldnt justify spending money all the time on expensive tyres (im a tight **** i know )

 

[N8]

You don't need quality tyres. I always run Falkens

 

[FranA3]

fair enough mate my mate loves them too , i used to run toyo proxes on my old rs but as i drive my A3 all the time tyres get a tad expensive the ones on there now do me just fine , when i get my 19's i will get some nice boots but budgets for me for now me thinks lol

 

[N8]

I never go budget from previous experiences of awful road grip - plus I always run stretch, so Falken is perfect level

 

[3.2Q]
