18" LM Reps

Does anyone have pics of 18" LM Reps with factory sport suspension? I currently have 162s and they are beat up. I'm going back and forth between powder coating or new wheels. I really like the LM style but not sure how the 18s would like without being lowered. Thanks in advance

Research apex wheels, it might look similar to lm but apex has a good racing reputation so you can beat them up and are very light.

Thank you but I dont really like any of the apex wheels, and they are a little pricey too. I love the look of the LMs. I just don't have the funds to go 19s or there would be no question.

Consider the mesh, not the step lip.
For 18's brand, vortex tuning, I know there's another brand, can't think of it right now.

if by "mesh" you mean the ARC-8, that's not like the LM. That'd be like calling the CSL wheels (and all the other replicas) the same as the LM too. Other than the fact that they both have spokes, they're different looking wheels.

I've found a couple pics through a google search but nothing that says sport suspension and 18". And 1 I found on a white e90 look terrible like there is no lip. That's what scares me

Varrstoen makes 18" LM reps, you may have to do some fender work depending on your setup.

I don't see a signature on my phone app. Are you selling them? You can pm me if you would like.

I found some in Atlanta but sold them a couple days before I could go look
