I know there is the ALT and GT Werks versions, from what I hear the GT Werks look just like the real thing and the ALT version is pretty damn close. However, neither of them are offered in a 4x100. Which is a shame because my broke *** would be all over a set in 18s.

Actually...it's funny. Raderwerks starting making pretty good replicas.......and at h2o, i thought that LM's looked absolutely played out. There were like 10 MKV's with LM looking wheels out of 20 MKV's. It's sad for real LM owners, but they lost their "oh cool, LM's" reaction since everyone had the fakes.

www.raderwerks.com <---check it

Yeah I feel you with the replicas taking away from the WOW factor of the real thing. LM's are still one of my favorite wheels though. They look damn good, as do all their other wheels. I'm looking at some Porsche reps now hehe.

Where can I find 20mm lug adapters?

Something just doesn't seem right about painting LM's in a Time Attack color scheme. Not only do you have fake LM's but you have a fake Time Attack color scheme too.

Thanks man, take your time. I'm just toying with the idea of Porsche GT3 or SportDesign Reps. I know how you feel about reps but either set would look hot.

15mm. When you said a 20mm was available I was in shock because I knew the standard was 25mm. Good find man thanks for the heads up.

The gold rivets on the black wheel with white pinstripe is baller x2



The MTEN-80s look VERY much like the Kyowa Racing wheel I posted in the other thread. I must say, the design of the wheel is very nice. The multi-lug fitment keeps pushing me away though.
