Ok, so my friend has some wheels layin around in his basement and I decided to try them on.

I dont really know if I like this look. Whats your opinion? If I keep them, I will go lower but not too much since then it would rub like crazy.






Or should I just go back to the CL-S wheels?

 

tuff decision...i was never really a fan of bbs's on any car other than beamers but it looks pretty good on ur fpr especially with the red center cap

 

looks good! you should keep em i think. i like the bbs on the TL, i have a nice set sittin in the basement.. too bad its 5x120

 

i like em but i think the design in the center makes em look too small.....if you go with the same style but with a design thats goes further out to the edge it would be hot.....and there is something missing from these pics.........wait i got it......

 

Looks good, keep 'em for now! But where is the girls???????

 

i like them! very sporty, i got bored of seeing so many tls cls wheels :rofl"

 

meh. i dont like the bbs's. the part between the spokes and the tire is too thick for me

 

Looks pretty darn good to me. Especially with the red center caps, as someone else has already pointed out. I would keep them.

 

x2

 

wow, your friend had BBS wheels laying around....

 

^lol yea.. Was off his Mazda 3.

Jeez guys, cant have girls in all my pictures, would be nice though haha.

 

Damn. Not bad...still like the VOLKS...

 

IMO, the CL-S wheels look much cleaner. For some reason the design makes the wheels look smaller than they actually are.

 

If theyre free take em if you gotta pay for them give em back

 

If they're going to "rub like crazy", I'd suggest sticking with the CL-S wheels.

 

back to CL-S bro. looks cleaner.

 

holy shit LMs look sick on this car....how much does he want for them? I cant imagine how good a set that is really aggressive (but not this aggressive lol) would look... i say turn the camber up and rock em..

 

i think our 2nd gens look mad sick with rims that have any sort of lip....the cl-s rims make the car cleaner, but these rims make the car hott....either way the fpr looks nasty...but i would stick to something with a lip...IMO

 

always loved the LMs. if the face was gunmetal, it'd be sick.

 

Well, my friend is chargin me some monies for them. But he told me to just ride around on them to see if I like them. Im gonna drop it a bit more and see how it looks then.

My gf drove my car today and I followed, it looks really really nice while rolling

 

what's the size and offset of this set if you dont mind me asking? let me know how bad the rubbing is after you drop it lower

 

I would like to comment but I'm afraid I cannot without sounding like I have a vested interest.

Honestly, I do like those wheels; the red center cap is a great touch...

P.S. clear your headlights...

 

Keep them. BBS LMs > Stock Enkeis.

Besides, since he's your friend, he'll give you a great price on the wheels probably.

Not like BBS? Are you guys on crack? Psh. BBS are probably one of the better wheel makers around.

Try putting on black centers. I think it might look better. Just my opinion though.

 

They are 18x8 with a 40 offset. They are not rubbing right now, drove all over today. but it looks like if I go no finger gap, it would hit the fender. I plan on going no finger gap in the front and one in the back. My rear coilovers are set to pretty stiff so there is not a whole lot of travel.

Bravedemon, I was thinkin of puttin the "A" center cap off my CL-S wheels, maybe that would look good.

 

dude that looks sick. i'd get some 17'' gold ones someday.. i'd keep it.

 

no dont change the center caps...that fitment isnt that far off, you might be able to make it work with some camber adjustment and thinner tires...

 

If they don't rub 2 much I would keep em. I think they look good but if your not 100% sold on the look then don't.

 

I'm 50/50 on these, the center caps match your car but I think they throw off the wheeel, maybe some black or silver centercaps will make them look better. I'd go with a cleaner look so CL-S wheels for me.

 

yea man, just drop it, especially the back, and youll be set. I think they look good.

 

if you keep them on, drop it lower!

 

btw, what is your friend asking for these? you can PM me if you like...if you dont buy them i may consider em...

 

id go with the bbs wheels looks good! and if u dont want em can i have them

 

looks like your buddy can have an auction with the bbs's. they will go to the highest bidder.

 

I like how sporty it look. But it also look like it doesn't fit with the car.

 

Yeah, with a 40 offset if you go too low you'll rub probably.

As for the centers, I say try the Black BBS centers with Black Lugs. I think it'd be hot!

The red center isnt bad... maybe try Red lug nuts? I dunno, I just feel like the red on the center is too isolated.

But put up pics with the stock Acura centers. I think that would be sweet too.

 

my opinion may be slightly biased, since i came from the euro scene w/ a couple of past vw's.. and im still all into it...

but KEEP THE BBS's!! they're awesome wheels, and IMO they actually match your car quite nicely. anyone saying to keep the CL-s's really means just keep em... on the side, as a spare set

 

p.s. lower the car more then re-take pics, and i'll thank you for the best desktop background pic ever... a mix of both worlds for me

 

Im pretty sure you can have the pads of the back of the wheels machined down a few mm to make a higher offset..

 

Yea, thats what I plan on doin. Im gonna lower it some more after work today. And try to use the bat and heat gun method to roll my rear fenders. Hopefully all goes well. I'll take some high-res pics for ya

BraveDemon, that sounds like a good idea. I think the "A" center cap is gonna look real good.

njzprettyboy, how much would something like that would cost?

 

they are BBS LM's man.....KEEP EM!!!! They look good. I'll take those any day over stocks, even over many other aftermarket rims
