Talking Looking for 18" BBS LM?

Testing waters on a set of 18 x 9 BBS LM with +50mm offset. They are brand new, authentic 3-pc and look like these:

Please make offers. If an offer is good enough, I'll sell, but if not, I'll put 'em on the car. Thanks!

Nice wheels but those are not LMs. Those are BBS magnesium alloy motorsport rims. Judging by the bolt pattern in the pics, are those for a 996 Porsche?

Don't know what car they are made for, but I ordered a set on a whim and now starting to miss my $$$. I just saw that it said BBS LM 3-pc with +50mm offset, I figured they should be excellent for an S. My current wheels are BBS RGR with +48mm for the front, and +55 for the rear. These would look AWESOME on my S but the $$$ is a little bit stiff.

Btw, since your front LM's have +50, what do you think about fitting 18x9 with the same offset as yours on my car's front?

x9's aren't going to fit your front no matter what the offset (unless you get a body lift).

.... I guess they didn't "do it" if there's rubbing

Hey, you can "fit" 10 pounds of sh!t in a 5 pound bag, if you don't mind 5 pounds of it dripping down the outside.

You guys are upsetting me. I really like these wheels.

Btw, they are not LM, they are BBS GT2 Magnesium race wheels, made for the Porsche GT2 and used in Le Mans. Too bad the front won't fit much, but we'll see. I'll make 'em fit.

Or if you have other cars and want these on yours, make me offers. BBS proclaims that these are the strongest lightest wheels in the world. Who am I to dispute?!!
