BBS LM-R or CH...

[_Tom]

I've been looking to get a new car but i weighed it all up last night and figured its just not worth it. Its not worth a bean plus i do to many miles to waste on a newer motor. A month or so ago i was set to buy some Porsche Twist reps until i found they were buckled. Great way to waste fuel with a 300 mile round trip.

Im going to order new wheels to arrive by next weekend. Now, i cant work out what to go for. Basically my choices are -

BBS LM-R Reps. 8.5J so will fit plush with no messing. Its the same as my current setup and the same wheels Tom has on his scooby -

Or i can get some BBS CH reps -

Now i can either get the CH's staggerd with 8's on the front and 9's on the rear. Or i can just go for 9's all round. Which may need a touch of archwork.

What would you do? Im not whoring i really am stuck. Im leaning towards CH's and possibly 9's but it may look a little silly. I'll have some shiny new wheel pics very soon. And yes, they are reps but my cars worth about as much as a mars bar.

A pic of 9" reps on a Golf -

I can find a pic of 8's on a Bora but no LM-Rs

Oh and lastly the car they will be going on -

LM's. No doubt.

 

[Brookie.]

CH's.
My favourite wheels!!!

 

[StephenJ]

Selling the old wheels?

LM's for me

 

[Ali]

Neither. Keep the current.

 

[Scrooge]

I still love the current one but LMs if you have to change

 

[Englebert]

LM-R easy... although sad to see fakies being used...

 

[_Tom]

Simple fact is the car is worth pence so not worth proper jobbies. I agree though. No wonder people like BBS have money issues. It is wrong really.

I've had alot of people say keep the currents and refurb them which really supprises me. They are concaved unlike most due to the extra width. But still, common.

Im just awaiting a call to confim the price of LM-R reps.

 

[chriscummins7]

Tough one! LM's get my vote though

 

[Gally]

Ch's for Ballin'!

Get the car up to perfect standard red poppin' and the CH's will look immense!

Pole?

 

[The_Pirate]

CH all the time erry day.

 

[n2x]

I frickin love your current wheels. Don´t know if anything would suit it better.

 

[_Tom]

I can always keep my wheels..i need to renew my love for the car. A hybrid tubby would probably do it more but with fuel prices..haha

I think im actually swaying towards CH's. Hmmm

My mates got a set of white CH reps on his A3 and it looks awesome

 

[Scrooge]

You know you want to go down the hybrid route Tom, b****cks to fuel prices you're going to spend more on a newer car anyway.

 

[Hixle]

CH all the time erry day.

I knew you'd be in here! CH for me too.

 

[SamP]

CH's. LM's would just wouldnt look right imo.

 

[aldo_87]

I love CH's! Was itching to put a set on my fabia when i had it, but it meant arch issues!

 

[Oldskoolbaby]

Use a little more imagination. Go on racecarsdirect.com and take a look through the wheel section. Some of the best wheels you will ever find lurk on there and not stupidly priced.

I can see why so many people go down the Rep route but in the end its all faulse ecconomy. They really are chocolate teapots on our pothole infested crappy roads. Your current wheels maybe common but they are tastefull and good quality which in my opinion means much more than a shiny rim.

 

[Cookie]

CH, but real ones

 

[Ray Gin]

I'm a bit bias here but CH's for me. Won't need arch work done either if you go staggered, a mate of mine is running 18" Rota grids on his Golf, 9.5J all round with spacers front and back, assuming your arches are similar to mine (Golf).

 

[Djw Dave]

Ch!

 

[Gareth]

Prefer the CH, but they seem like the common choice.

Wouldn't be getting reps though personally.

 

[Nafoff]

a bronze set of rota's and get it tucked perfectly....

meh to the bbs'....

 

[_Tom]

Haha a did think of Rotas but I'm not so sure I want to go that route.

 

[Nafoff]

Haha a did think of Rotas but I'm not so sure I want to go that route.

if it has to be the fore-mentioned i would say CH's all day long.
but i think a nice darkish bronze set of staggered rota's would look good.

or pop down and try my roti's for size...lol

 

[_Tom]

Now they would look sweet..

Bronze and red works well.

 

[Nafoff]

stop being a fag and get some rota's... aggressive look

 

[Winston]

Reps

 

[edewer]

CH has been done to death, i'd go LM-R

 

[J0sh]

Polished LM's would look awesome

 

[MarcoB]

wanna sell your old ones

 

[adam172]

CH 9s all round imo

 

[StephenJ]

wanna sell your old ones

Hands off, I was in on page 1

 

[sideways danny]

I almost bought a set of CH's brand new. Only time I've ever come close to that sort of insanity

 

[SamP]

Rota's? LOL.

 

[Nafoff]

Rota's? LOL.

yep...

 

[Nafoff]

another idea...

 

[Nick r26r]

lm's real ones , i had a real set on my old s3 , here is a pic , this was when they first went on without being lowered , they were 19's and way to big for the car ,

 

[Gaz.]

LMs just edge it for me.
