BBS LM-R color help

TRYM3 · 02-12-2019, 07:39 PM

Hey guys so I have a BSM f80 M3 with Shakir orange interior. I ordered a set of LMRs in the diamond black face with polished lips and they said they're sold out with no possible ETA. I am left with a few in stock choices. Diamond Black face Diamond black lip, Silver face Diamond black lip or Diamond face on gloss black lip. These are all part of the Limited edition run that BBS recently did.

If you want the polished lip, I'd wait for a new set to pop up. Or even get a used set.

But if you had to choose from the remaining options, I say Diamond Black Face + Diamond Black Lip. I hate it when the lip is darker than the face. My preference.

Diamond black face and lip- I have a set that are brand new so send me a pm if interested. I waited 5 months for them but I sold my car so don't need them.

They look great but not interested in the LM, I've done that on my old e92 m3

I agree about the lip being darker then the face doesn't look right, and I should wait for what I want but I'm so damn impatient I could never wait months for wheels, if I had to wait 5 months for wheels I'd prob be on 2 sets of different wheels before they came in

For the love of God do not get the black lip and silver face. It's the worst combo ever and I always see them for sale.

After a lot of confusion I have it all settled. Thank you to Robert at BBS USA he found me a set of Diamond Black faces with the polished lip like I wanted. It was the last set in the country and it was located in my state less then an hour away.

Thank god I didnt place the order on the what I thought was Diamond face and Diamond lip because Robert confirmed that was not actually what was in stock, the gloss lip is actually what was in stock. Robert called a distributor that does not sell to the public, found me a set, and then called Wheel Hero who I placed the original order from and set up the order for me.

He went above and beyond what he needed to do. Again thank you and yet another reason why in my opinion BBS is the best wheel company out there.

I have DB/DB LM-R's and they are beautiful, they would look stunning on Shakir Orange

I've dealt with Robert Way over at BBS before and had the same experience as you. Always very helpful even if i'm not making the purchase through them directly.

Top notch guy. Not sure if he gets on this forum but next time I will talk to him I'll let him know he's really built a great reputation in the f8x community
