BBS LM's for their CL?

I know they tend to fall into the "euro-realm" of wheels but I saw a set of them on the s2ki forum the other day and started to wonder what they would look like on the CL...

I doubt anyone on this site has ever dared to put such a set on their car (being that they're not the cheapest wheels) but I think this wheel might be my next set...

Can anyone offer a photoshop?

I'd be very interested to see what they look like on our cars as well. I've wanted a set for awhile, but can't afford to spend that much for wheels right now.

brian, i love thos wheels. they are amazing looking in person. PM kevin..the guy that bought your volks. he has a good hand at photoshopping. im sure he wouldnt mind.

edit:

i do remember seeing them on a TL before in gunmetal/polished lip here on the forums. the only gripe was that in 18" and being mesh they looked a little small on the car. it might be diff on the CL though.

it'll look even better with the molded TL kit.

i always wondered how good it would look on our car. it looks too good!

haha, my current wheels are mesh. i can't get over it. glad to see joe is treating you well man. he's hands-down the best person i've ever worked with in regards to bodyshop help/paint. his paint quality control is IMMACULATE.

he's an artist. in ever way shape/form.

Are these the ones you're referring to? (without the curb rash and bend of course) Sick looking wheel, but I think I like the BBS ones even more.

The gold vs-vx would look so hot on an ABP

How much are the LM's and are they a discontinued wheel?

I know they make sizes for the NSX/S2000 so I'm sure there'd be an offset somewhere that would fit our cars. I know a shop that is in direct with BBS themselves and so once I have my money right (tax return) I'll just call them up and place my order.

gold does look hot on ABP. if you look up pics by shinybluecls, it'd be a perfect representation of how gold looks on ABP.

LM's are a around $1,000/wheel for 19s with a step lip. Ya, it's expensive, but I'm getting tired of all the knockoffs everywhere and these are the one wheels that have been classic with quality unsurpassed.

Dut's car was a favorite of mine while my friend was shopping for an e46 m3. definately a one of the kind. If the BBS plan doesn't work out I'll probably just end up keeping my VS-XX.

There are stock rims on BMW m's and infinity g35 coupes that I really like that resemble those BBS rims. I see them everyday on different cars - you'd think i'd be able to find a friggin picture! Please hold...


ah ha.
These

I don't know how to post a picture.

Does anyone have these, have wheels similar to these or know if these will fit and a list of cars that wheels are interchangeable with?
