    I would also consider reps.

      I genuinely look on eBay every day for Bbs lm's in the hope that il find a gold rep set .
      I have never seen a 5x112 17" set bud, seen countless 18 and 19"
      I bought my 18" lm reps for 349 delivered which I thought was bloody good and they've lasted well so far after 3 years.

        Thanks for the reply. Do they exist, or are they just rare. I am not keen on 18 or 19 .
        After fitting 18 on my s6 it seemed to take the urgentcy out of the acceleration.

          These are very hard to find. Can anyone tell me where I can get new 18" lm rims with or without tyres in gold.
          I used to think the idea of gold wheels on a s2 was horrifying, but I have to say that for some reason the gold LM's look so cool. Much smarter than the silver.
          What do you think. My s2 is being resprayed in the original emerald green pearl, will it look like a pimped ride with gold wheels, or should I go for silver.

            I'm going for the same look on my Emerald Green Avant and I think this photo is the culprit:


            Like Andy I check ebay everyday for BBS LMs and finally decided I might as well buy these and decide whether I like them as they are or if I want to go to the trouble of spraying the spokes only gold (leaving that polished lip silver). I don't know what the best method for changing the colour is either...

              I yearned for gold for a long time but now have decided on on a dark grey metallic, wheels are currently off with the body shop guy at work.

              I think gold would look ok on my colour car but I'd struggle to keep on top of keeping them clean and worried I may get bored. I bought some temp wheels off ebay and have since decided I like them! They are ssr mesh reps with a huge rear dish so am not in a big rush for the lm reps to go back on....but they will be!

                  Why not get set of standard Lm"s then get them painted gold?

                    Is it easy? Like easy enough for a complete novice to do?

                      That's fair comment so where is the best place to buy them including tyres.

                        The link I posted seem like the cheapest place to get brand new ones from, spoke to the guy on Friday about getting tyres fitted too - I'm going to buy tyres off camskill and have them sent to him for fitting

                        Once they arrive all I'll need to do is fit them with my 15mm spacers

                          Yahoo Japan has a lot of Genuine BBS LMs For sale.only Problem is Japan is half of the world away.
                          I got 18" LM from Japan too.
                          one of a few I5 from Asia.
