19s = too big. There's a pic of a 19" LM next to my front wheel well in my gallery so you get an idea...

Hmm more than I expected.

Should look sweet with that offset and drop. Can't wait to see pics.

Update: well looks like I'am gonna have to wait about another week or so to get my wheels. The owner of the shop placed an order on the BBS LM Reps for both 5x100 18x8 and also for 4x100 18x7.5. 6 sets which would have been 3 of each one they messed up the order and sent him 6 sets of 18x8 5x100.
Good news is i have a couple pics of the actual replicas i will be getting the wheels in this pic are 18x85x100. Please excuse the pic quality they were taken with an Iphone

Those are some damn good reps
But, I can see the slight differences in the two.
No offense, they look as close as you could get. But there are some details that just can't be matched

msb3tg-I would not give your rims up for anything

I like your wheels; they'll look really good on your car. I can't say that they could be mistaken for LMs, which, depending on what your goal was, can be a good or bad thing. They look like nice mesh wheels rather than a replica of the LM design.

I really like the look of the BBS LM but it would be to much time and money to put 18s on the mini since they only come in 5x100. Iam not trying to pass these off as real BBS LMs cause thats just not really my thing or reps. Just a nice looking mesh wheel
