I was checking those out on ebay as well. I like how they show pics of Real BBS Lm's . I would probably stay away from them.

I don't want to scare you off but I remember reading a thread where this guy bought some LM replicas and his spokes were hitting the rear caliper. I'm trying to find the thread to see what his wheel specs were but I'm not getting much luck. If I do find it I'll post the link.

Honestly, they'll be fine for street driving. They won't be as strong, as good looking, or as high quality as legit LMs, but they won't cost you $3500 per set either.

That said, you're going to have a hard time fitting these because of the low offsets. Oh, and make sure they will actually clear your brakes before you buy them.

Here's an option for ya

LM Reps

Not as "cheap" as the Ebay ones (actually twice as much), but more S2K friendly offsets and atleast a somewhat reputable manufacturer.

Those are LM-ish, but are in no way LM replicas.
