You sure these fit a Mini properly. While they may be the right bolt circle the offset may be all wrong. I am interested but Tire Rack does not list this wheel for a Mini. Before I plunk down $2.8k+ I want to be sure.

Does this mean you will be selling some R90s gnat?

LMs are made in Japan? Is that for real?

Yeah, it's for real.

There is another set of these on NAM with tires, howver, they have been used. Also has a little curbage on one wheel. That person was asking $2.5k and they haven't sold. Good luck at $2.8k + paypal fees + shipping. My math shows that to be right around $3k. For that kind of coin you can get some custom made Fikse's.

yes they should fit fine if the bolt circle is correct. I have wheels with exactly the same size and offset and they will look great especially on a lowered car (might require some trimming of the fenders to prevent rubbing)...

Didn't know BBS is outsourcing to Japan. OEM's are made in Germany.

BBS has their own manufacturing plant in Japan. I believe most (all?) of their forged wheels are manufactured there. If you go to the TireRack site and look up the details for BBS forged models (RGR, RG-F, RS-GT, etc), they all list Japan as country of origin.

Yes, BBS rims have been known to come from Japan. I have BBS RS rims from Germany, and a RS rim from BBS Japan. This dates back to the early 90's.

Free bump

Wow, two sets of LMs for sale here on NAM. These are very rare and I think you have to special order these from BBS.

A little out of reach for me, but here's a free bump.

They are silver, but I requested these caps, they came with different caps but I wanted the silver.

I bought them about 4 months ago
