Hi all

I'm new here :D

Had my 04 M3 coupe for just over a year now and in that time have added a milltek backbox, eibach springs and 10mm spacers.

Want to go that next step now and add some new wheels as the standard 19's are looking a bit shabby.

Now I REALLY like the look of the BBS LM's and RS-GTs although not sure if they are way out of my price bracket and being as I use mine daily not sure if the polished lip is right for me!!

Anyway are there any decent BBS replicas available or are there any other wheels available that have that deep dish look? I've tried a search but there seems so much to get through and I can't quite find the info I need.

Thanks and I look forward to contributing in the future!

Welcome aboard mate, Have a look at Teddys website - forum sponsor www.ssdd-motorsport.com or send him an email/pm, hes got his own section on the board. Do you have a budget in mind?

Welcome mate!
How about some pics?
teddy at ssdd might be able to help you with the rims (and other mods)
If you are after bbs reps then speak to ben at bmautosport, he has got lots of different colours and styles.

BBS normally have a diamond cut lip rather than a polished lip so maintenance is simple.

staggered reps can be found in the USA. You can try and import them. Otherwise try ebay.

Another excuse to post a picture of mine :)

Thanks for the replies.

Budget wise I'd been looking at about £1300 for OEM CSL alloys but for the right set of wheels I may be persuaded to push closer to the 2k mark.

I'll give the guys suggested a call over the next few days once I have a clearer idea of what I want!

As for pics I'll get some up as soon as. Haven't got any with the mods on yet cars not been clean enough to get any decent shots yet. But heres a couple from the day I collected it. It had an ACS backbox and diffuser when I bought it but I changed those for a milltek and standard diffuser soon after.

Nice M3, best colour combo right there!

Keep checking ebay and the pistonheads parts section. I often see genuine BBS LM's on there for around the top end of your budget.
