How Do PPL Feel About these BBS LM Reps?

I know reps arn't the most sought after wheels but these are a really good price, shipped with Hanook Tires for less than 2gs....I fee like they would look hot..

Not bad looking, but I would be worried about the wheel's integrity.

You're better of waiting and scoping forums for a used set of nice rims with tires. I'm not too sure about the quality of em

As for style, I like them! I love the mesh step lip look! It's just classic!

Others seem to be remarking on the build quality, but I always thought BBS was a respectable mid-grade wheel.

BBS is a great wheel, but you're missing a key word. REPLICA. As in KNOCK OFF.
Wheels are probably the biggest no no, in my mind, when it comes to replicas. I hate to see fake TE37s more than anything.

Doesn't it make you sad that you're downgrading? Your OEM wheels cost more than those replicas with tires. Not to mention, you're going from a brand name to a no-name.

I mean, how cheap are these rims if they that price SHIPPED? That's the price of um... ONE of my BBS wheels shipped.

I like DPE too. Patience is the key man. Every month there are 2 or 3 sets that go up in the classifieds. Know what specs you need/want and the offsets you need. You don't have to only check this forum. Sometimes you'll find some conservative 370z wheels that are perfect for the G37. Sometimes you can find some aggressive Accord wheels that are great for the G too. Buying from the classifieds also avoids the huge wait that comes with all decent wheels.

A real BBS wheel is a high quality wheel, no mid grade.

Yeah BBS are bad *** wheels. Our OEM Enkei's OTOH are mediocre at best. Just because Infiniti sell them for $1000+ per rim doesn't mean they're $1000 rims.
