Default 18" BBS LM's vs ?

Even though they weigh as much as boat anchors, I love the LM's because in their own classic way, they look absolutely stunning. Does anyone know if these are still available? I've heard rumors that they've been discontinued.

Also, is there anything in this price range that I should be looking at as well? I was originally thinking either the LM's or the 2-piece Work S1 but everyone and their mother has these now. The LM's also puts you close to to price range of some HRE / Kinesis / I-forged rims that would allow me to maximize the footprint with custom offsets, but I don't see a lot of people going that route these days.

Any opinions on the best wheel in the LM's price range? Pics please if you have them!

If you are in the market for some BBS LM, get in touch with me.

As for being as heavy as boat anchors, they're only in the low 20s for 18s; there are much worse alternatives

Check it on ebay. As for new BBS LM wheels, BBS has just changed owner and i don't know for you guys, but here in Sweden it's as good as impossible to get BBS rims if they aren't in stock (like lm).

Here is a pic of my car with both LMs (18") and Kinesis (17").

Kinesis are a little lighter and the car certainly rides better with them on. Kinesis also gets the nod for handling, car tracks better, turns in quicker and just feels more screwed down with them on. But the LMs certainly have that bling factor. Can't comment on current availability of LMs.
