Hey guys, I am seriously considering buying BBS LM wheels for my CG TSX. Do you guys have any suggestions/comments? I'll be glad to view your guy's comments.

They're nice. What size are you thinking of?

What other wheels have you considered?

I'm wondering how "european" the TSX will look with a set of those on.

Hmm...I think those wheels are pretty cool. BBS rims are pretty expensive though, so make sure you get it properly balanced and proper tires because the last thing you want it to damage those rims.

I will prefer RGR But even the 18" CH on my E46 already cost me an arm & leg! :sqnteek: are you sure want to spend that much on wheels! when RGR or LM on bimmer, you have used market but on tsx, I doubt you can find an used set or you able to sell it if you need cash later(unless you willing to take a huge loss, like selling it as 20% of its original cost)!

any BMW set would be staggered offset front and back and very weird offsets. what's a brand new set cost $2500-3000?

No, not really, unless it is an M3. My set of CH is 18"x8.5" with 35 offset in all 4 corner. The stagger setup just make it looks better but with just ~200hp, it really not make ne preformance difference. I paid $1600 for 4 rims & $700 for a set of 225/40/18 PZero Nero. And CH is almost the cheapest BBS you can get.

Those are sweet, but the offset is +43, not +48.

thanks for the suggestion guys! Awww... I relaly hope the BBS LM's will fit on my car. If worst comes to worst, I'll probably pay extra to get some custom extended fenders so I could fit the rims.

btw... do any of you guys know of a place online or a wheel shop around Southern california where I can get a good deal on BBS LM wheels? So far, the only places I saw that sell the BBS LM wheels is this store called d2 technik which specializes in selling wheels for european cars, and this palce called Sprewell Racing, but the wheels are really expensive :'(
