I put my name down as interested in the alloy wheel group buy from BM autosport for BBS LM reps, but wasnt to sure the et40/45 offset would be aggressive enough on my e92.

Had a drive out to Projex Design (formaly SWT) Clevedon Mr Bristol today. Had the exact wheels in stock I wanted, staggered LM reps 8.5 x 19 front and 9.5 x 19 rear, both et40. Wanted to try before I bought.

Wheels look fantastic. Fills out the arches with the wider 235 / 265 tyres a little more than the standard 225M's

The guys were very helpfull, and gave me a fantastic deal.. I'm very pleased.

They have all the usual replica CSL, BBS LMR etc as well as the higher end genuine stuff.... RECOMMENDED.

WINNING!

LM's have to be one of my favorite wheels of all time. Dare I ask how much?

[Nick999]

Didnt go for the CSL reps because they are to similar to my 225M's

Here is a contrast, old and new

Very good price. They beat BM autosport price. Will PM you

Looks good Nick. I still like the picture with the 225's better.

Think I will keep the 225's as my winter wheels. They are still mint condition. Probably far more durable than the LM reps, but nice to have a change

I personally don't like LM on e9x, they look great for reps tho.

I dunno what it is about them, they look like a really old style on a new car. The same as an m6 rim design on an e46 doesnt look right but the reverse of that.

They do look more agressive, which is good.

Funny that because I think they are the best looking wheels ever, along with the original Cobra super slots. Guess it would be a boring world if we all liked the same things. For me it doesnt get much better than a Black 335i M Sport on LM's

VERY nice!!

[Jules-B]

Looks nice

My e92 looked so much better on LM's!

[Tee212]

much much better!

[Nick999]

Thanks for the comments guys. Seems to be marmite wheels, luv em or hate em!!
Think it's the retro look that appeals to me. You start liking all things retro when you get into your 40's. I find my self looking at now classic Sierra Cosworth and XJS on eBay I owned in the 90's .lol.

Is that the camera angle, or do you have 9.5" LM's up front? Looks mean

[Tee212]

Im gettin old and into the retro look like you said haha. Up fronts are 10.5 WORK brombachers. cheers.gif lol

[marmac]

Really nice wheels

Tasty wheels, although I give it one month before you start whining about how they're a total PITA to clean

Yep you are right.. Probably wish I had gone for a five spoke design like the 313's or M6 reps, but the LM's do look lovely when they are clean.

I think that you are right about " marmite wheels" really not my cup of tea as look to me out of place on that car. They look old and fussy. But it is your car and if you like them then fair play to you. It would be boring if we all had the same tastes.

+1

[parapaul]

Another '+1' here, I'm afraid - I'm quite fickle about alloys, and they're just not doing it for me.

But, it's your car, your wheels. Glad you're happy

The wheels look ace, I am a big fan of LM reps and on the right car they can look spot on - against a black car they really look good.

I also ran some LM reps on my M3 but opted for the dark grey spokes, not because they are any easier to clean (they are bitches to clean!!!) but didn't show the brake dust as easily.

Make sure you get some decent rim sealant on them, the polished lips will start to 'pitt' quite quickly else. I use Poorboys stuff and find it very good.

The dark grey spokes really suited your Alpine White beast. I almost went for SSW Mesh alloys in that colour

Thanks for the heads up on the Poorboys rim sealant. I just ordered a tub from eBay
