Josh Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Hi all, For sale I have my BBS LMs in staggered fitment. The centres are gunmetal grey and the lips are polished. Fronts are 9x18, 42mm offset and rears are 10x18, 50mm offset. The centres can be reverse mounted to give a more aggressive offset. Front tyres are Goodyear Debica 245/40/18 and rears are Goodyear Eagle F1 285/35/18. All tyres have approximately 4-5mm tread on them. I am in the process of moving house, and the wheels are stored in my parents' garage, so I will check tread depths accurately when I next visit. Price - £2,200. These cost over £1,000 per wheel to buy new. Please see pictures below: Edited April 8, 2020 by Josh (see edit history) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rider Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I've never seen a second hand set of wheels so expensive outside of stock fitment wheels for genuinely top end cars. I was looking out for a set of LM's before buying instead a set of OEM wheels and they were usually offered for sale for much nearer to £1k than £3k second hand. The sets at £1k did sell fairly quickly, i think you'll be struggling to find a buyer at close to £3k. The driftworks forum sees a fair amount of wheels traded for a multitude of Japanese cars using the 5X114.3 fitment wheels. You would probably generate more interest advertising there.

Supra2jze Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 (edited) Hate to be that guy... but as Rider has said that will take some time to sell at that price. I sold my 18" Gold BBS LMs with a polished lip for £1500 with good tyres all round. I remember buying them off Craig off FB a few years ago (Swampy442 on the forum) for slightly less then what I sold them for & they were in good condition.

SPG Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I would have been interested around the £1500 mark also, but good luck with the sale Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Westy Posted October 6, 2019 Share Posted October 6, 2019 I've got a set of these. One of the best set of wheels for the mkiv. Valuation is about right imo but the UK market is cheap...GLWS Josh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Josh Posted November 5, 2019 Author Share Posted November 5, 2019 What are the exact model numbers of the LMs? Very sorry for the late reply. Where would the model numbers be located? There are a few numbers around the outside of the face by the bolt holes Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
phobos Posted November 5, 2019 Share Posted November 5, 2019 Very sorry for the late reply. Where would the model numbers be located? There are a few numbers around the outside of the face by the bolt holes No problem . Should be close to the bolt holes in the casting, LM followed by a 3-digit number.

phobos Posted November 12, 2019 Share Posted November 12, 2019 I'd consider buying them but like so many times the German TÜV is taking the fun out of it. BBS has no papers for this set and therefore I have no chance to put them on my car legally. And getting caught in Germany with something like that is not fun anymore. .
