The LM weights (according to BBS):

<UL TYPE=SQUARE>
<LI> 17x7.5 = 18.3 lbs.
<LI> 17x8.5 = 19.06 lbs.
<LI> 18x8 = 19.84 lbs.
<LI> 18x9.5 = 20.68 lbs.[/list]
Also, I have asked BBS to check on importing the RGR and what the cost would be. I should have this information along with available sizes and weights tomorrow. I'll post any info I get on them.

Rob

RT is right,

The offsets are no where near right for the S2000 on the LMs in 18''. I saw a S2000 with the 18'' LMs and the rear fit was terrible. The rims/tires stuck well out past the rear fender. It was because of this poor fit that I went the custom route for rims, as I nearly got the BBS LM wheels.

If you run the numbers, a 9.5 width with a 55 offset is just not going to fit. I wish I knew what BBS was thinking when they made this size wheel for the S2000.

Rob,

Did you hear anything back from BBS about importing the RG-R? These are great looking wheels and I think you could sell atleast a handful of sets. Keep us posted.

Giamperio or Rob,

Any news on the RG-R's, price, availability, finish (i.e. chrome, machined, polished alum., black chrome, etc.)?
