Bbs Lm 17X9 +5

[180Roman]

Hey Guy and Gals,

It has come time for me to part with my beloved BBS LMs

The size is 17x9 +5 in 114.3x5 stud pattern

These wheels started their life as 17x9 +20, but the specs were a little weak for my liking, so i reverse mounted the faces and cleaned up the dish

The reverse mount face gives the wheels 15mm less offset and more dish

These wheels clear R32 GTR V-Spec brakes(not sure if they clear R33 GTR Brembos, but caliper spacing suggests that they should)

There is a bit of gutter rash on a couple of the wheels, but stuff that can be pretty easily repaired

The paint on the centers is pretty good with only a couple of stone chips

These wheels retail for over $1400ea new, so I'm pretty firm on the price of $3k

The reason for sale is the wheel specs no longer suit my needs and i want something more aggressive size wise

Would consider trading for wheels of similar value in more aggressive specs.

bump,

i want to start building a new set, so these need to move

So what youve done is unmounted faces and mounted then beneath the face mounting flange...???

Did you use new bolts/nuts/washers?

Did you use factory fastening torque specs?

Checked for trueness/balance ok after alteration?

Gutter rash?

1. So what youve done is unmounted faces and mounted then beneath the face mounting flange...???

5. Gutter rash?

1. Yep, there is a spigot on either side of the face, so the barrel is still supported by the face and isn't just held by the bolts

2. BBS LM Bolts are titanium and can be re-used

3. Yes, torqued to the recommended ft.lbs as per BBS instructions using the correct assembly pattern

4. Wheels all spin true on the wheel balancing machine. Never had them balanced without a tire on, but all the barrels and faces were marked before dis-assembly and reassembled in the same exact position but from behind.

5. I'll try and get some pictures in the daylight

Here is some pictures of the gutter rash

This is the one with the worst gutter rash, it is less then half a mm deep

One more wheel has a slight bit of gutter rash but it is less then this one

The other 2 wheels are gutter rash free

And here is a photo showing the hub brake clearance and the double spigot configuration of the face

$3000? Is that for real or mis-type?

[180Roman]

Considering that the going rate for LMs is around $2.5k

There isn't a whole lot of them going around in 17x9 +20 offset spec and none in the reverse mount face form.

The reverse mount face process is not a simple job, countless hours were spent on this set

I am not going to be giving them away...

If these don't sell, just means I'll have to wait a bit longer till I can get my new set built

i did the same to mine 2 years ago, never had a problem, thay didnt need balancing.

Bump

Would consider trades for 17s or 18s in more aggressive specs

R33 Brembo and R32 Brembo are same AFAIK

R33 Brembo and R32 Brembo are same AFAIK

thanks, wasn't sure, so didn't want to say that fit without trying them onto a car

bumpity bump, nobody has wheels they want to swap....
