BBS LM like wheels with out rivets?

Anyone know of any wheels that are similar or replicas of the BBS LM wheel but with out the little screws/rivets? Preferably in black.

I can't find any.

Thanks!

Maybe the Forgeline GA3R? Those are closer looking to the LM-R's than LM's though.

But please don't go ghetto by putting BBS caps on the Forgelines or something-they're actually a good company that makes a good product. IMO getting Forgelines as replica BBS's is insulting to BOTH companies.

Alternately, you can always check E-bay, or try asking/working with Linea Corse or Varrosten.

I didn't say you do, it was both a needless request to you and a prayer to the rest of the world.

But yeah, the GA3R's are nice wheels. They're the successor to the EV3R's, which were successfuly used by Turner Motorsports on their competition E92 M3. EV3R's didn't have the hidden hardware like the GA3R's so the GA's look nicer. Good luck captain.

The BBS RGR wheels are similar without the screws.
BBS RGR are available in a Diamond Black color.
However, they are expensive.

Don't take me so serious. Trust me, i like a clean, mean look to me cars. Check out my R32. http://forums.vwvortex.com/showthread.php?4482281

The Mini belongs to my wife. Those GA3R's are really nice but when ever the price has CALL next to it you know they're expensive.

Yeah those are really nice but I'm digging the multiple steps the Miro 279 has.
