I also agree with rally. Too many replicas out there today. If everyone looks hard enought theres 3 companies that make exact Replica LM's specifically for our cars, and for something like $600 a set in 17's. And IMHO i think a deep dish on a LM kind of takes away from it as their suppose to be a flat face design. O and rallys rims are whack

Where are those pics of your rims? I've been waiting

 

I only knew of one that fit the MINI (GT Tuning). Which are the other 2?

I didn't know so many options were available for our cars. I'm with you about too many LM reps being available. But they do look good, real or not.

 

Your lucky, my car just got out of the shop, getting the LSD and 06 tranny in and springs. Will go take some pictures this weekend.

As far as the other two, yes GT Tuning makes a great set, as far as replicas go. And also Konig makes a 4x100 rep which isnt as pleasing to the eye, but is a rep nonetheless. And theres a thrid i just cant seem to remember there name.

I don't know about that one....all the LM reps I saw this year at waterfest and h2o didn't look so hot compared to the actual LMs at the show.

In terms of other reps...you've got raderwerks, but they weren't the original manufacturer. Some other company(Exclusive Alloy, i believe) was producing them and like 12 different companies were selling them on the internet. Konig has the replica that is rumored to be a replica of the LM's but i think it's actually a copy of the LM-R's (comes in 4x100 but only in 16's right now). Then there are the old school replicas that are no longer produced but still pop up on ebay (ACE or ARE, or something like that).

 

Raderwerks replicas are pretty sweet, and the colors you can get them in. But there getting fried by BBS in court as of now.

 

Nah they settled it. BBS thought they were the original producers....but it turns out the other company was the one producing the wheels....raderwerks was just painting them and plating the bolts.

 

So there still selling them now?

 

They 'settlement' included the agreement that they would no longer sell them. I think the original manufacturer had to stop producing them. People have still been selling the leftovers though.

 

Another bump for 17x7.5 or 17x8 LM reps!

 

There's a used set of BBS DTM's (basically one piece version of LM's) in a perfect size for our cars. 17x7.5 et35 4x100 for only $1780. Could be awesome for anyone with a space blue or indi blue car.

 

ditto really interested in some LM reps
