BBS LM-R's...19's or 20's? Please help...

MWorldorder · 04-05-2008, 11:45 AM

I'm going with BBS LM-R's. Does anybody have any input in terms of whether I should go with 19's or 20's?

MDCTFTW · 04-05-2008, 11:46 AM

19s would be perfect.

KevinS4 · 04-05-2008, 12:09 PM

I would go with the 20"

19s, IMO. Weigh less, tires cost less, and most importantly, the scale is better.

Very simple. You must ask yourself a questions:

"If I'm getting a performance wheel, why would I get it in a non-performance size?"

If your are going to track the car then go with the 19inch rims if you are going to dog it out on the track.

19's or less.. more rubber the better!

!Xoible · 04-06-2008, 01:54 PM

go for 20's man, go big or go home... someone has to bling-bling-ify the M3 man, be the first

dawgdog · 04-06-2008, 06:40 PM

I vote for 19s.

bkms1 · 04-06-2008, 07:52 PM

19 inch tires are more expensive than twenty inchers so thats not a factor

sayemthree · 04-06-2008, 08:33 PM

19's for the win.
20's for the bling.

JS11 · 04-06-2008, 08:48 PM

19's seem to be a perfect fit in my opinion

LOL! .....thanks for the feedback, guys. I'll post pics as soon as they arrive....I'd say within a month. Other mods include Eisenmann race exhaust, carbon fiber or flat black grill (haven't decided yet),tinted windows, painted reflectors.

sejoon85 · 04-08-2008, 09:20 AM

I would go for 20s also

M-bitious · 04-09-2008, 06:24 AM

Especially with the BBS LM I would opt for 20's as these rims look smaller than other models. 20 will look like 19, which is due to the staggered lip and the spokes being relatively short. The size of the car is big enough to take the 20's. Pretty much the same look as 19 on a M3 E46.

cyba · 04-09-2008, 07:33 AM

for M3 go 20's

cyba · 04-09-2008, 07:37 AM

btw how much do those 20 LMR go for?

They can run anywhere from 1200-1500 per wheel. I'm getting price quotes soon. I have a friend who's friend owns a wheel shop, and I think I'll be able to get them at cost.

.....I'm also thinking about going with BBS RS-GT's. Decisions, decisions...

I agree! For that reason, I am thinking about going with the RS-GT's instead!

....the CY's are in the back of my mind as well. The CY's are different and that's why I like them. I just don't know if they would look good on an E92. I wish someone could photoshop them on so I could get a better idea! Anybody know of someone that can do it?
