my suggestion. sell both and pick up the authentic Carlsson's that are going around in classifieds for cheap. when you can get cheap authentics...there's no need for reps.

You should also check out my 19" HRE 542R's in Black, but if thats out of the budget tc1728 is selling his 19" Forgestars for a pretty good price.
In any case, good luck!

Are these the ones that you said are the LM5?
Cause by looking at them they don't look like they are Lorinser LM5. Do they use Lorinser spacers?
The lip doesn't look like the LM5 lip
In this pic the LM5 or any Lorinser does not have any bolts like that.
Here is how the bolts look
In this pic you put a piece of paper or cardboard and if they are real (2 piece) then it should go in.
How much did you get them for?
