I don't like BBS LMs ... Too busy, too weird, I dunno. Just don't sit well with me.

Love the cars though

They need to be an inch bigger (or more). Also, some tire gel wouldn't hurt.

I thought there was some issues with running aftermarket wheels on GTRs? Did wheel manufacturers figure out a way around that or something? I know I've seen other GTRs with non-OEM wheels too.

That also voids the warranty, among many other things.

The GTR is ugly, no need to be afraid. That's like being heterosexual and afraid to admit it

I wonder how a set of these wheels would look in matte black.

The R34, even the R33 IMHO trumps the current GT-R in terms of looks. I don't think there's any denying that a nicely modded S13 or S14 is worthy.

Overrated rims. These fit the GTR much better.

Don't like. LMs are for Euros, especially the BMW 3 Coupe/M3.

Atleast the LM has history and class.
