Gold =

Luff: I have really seen as many pictures as I could find on it, read reviews, they do not give the same look that the LM's do. The CSL replicas are great as replicas, but those Luffs aren't.

I agree that if you're considering the BBS LM's, you should consider the original CSLs also.

I don't know if you're looking for performance or style but the BBS RGR's are a similar design but they're forged so they're stronger and lighter than either the LM or the CSL. If you're looking for style and don't have a preference between the LM's and CSL's why not get the cheaper wheel and spend the extra money on other cosmetic upgrades. Maybe a front lip and/or spoiler?

yeah, i think those RGR's are magnesium! At least it will match our engines! j/k they are light though, and look good too. I think those are the best all around, but for purely show.... those 19" silver LM's are hard to beat. I'd say impossible. That black car on here doesn't even have that many cosmetic modifications, yet it looks as good to me as some full ACS kits, JUST because of those wheels....

See, to me, that car looks better than some cars that spent the same amount of money with full aero kits, and the advantage of the wheels is you can always resell them down the road and recoup a good amount of your cost, and then smack on the OEM's.

thats it, my next wheels are THESE.

I think it is a no brainer, the LM's look like crap! I would never buy those. I have seen one(1) BBS wheel that I like, but not love. I think all BBS wheels look terrible. But, that is just my opinion.

LM's without question. But ya, Works are expensive, but you can definitely find them cheaper than LM's. My friend had a set of gold ones on his 350z, looks hot, but LM's will definitely be hotter on the 3. How bout I give you my iForged cheap if you want the mesh look of the Works so I can go buy my Lm's.

LM's look like crap, wow. Thats a bold statement to make on all BBS wheels. Got to definitely disagree with your opinion here.
