Where to get BBS LM Replicas?

Hello,

As the title says, I'm looking for somewhere I can get a set of 18" BBS LM reps, possibly in gunmetal. I see that there's a set on powerwheels pro, but I was told by another member here that the offset may not work. Any suggestions are appreciated. Thanks!

Getting out of bed in the morning is risky. But, on any reasonable measure, PWP has proven itself to several members here, including with three sets of wheels for me. They have consistently high quality TUV/JWL certified production sources and customer service. I'm not sure what supplier(s) Mercedes uses for OE wheels, but on my E, PWP replaced OE MB wheels which dented far too easily.

36ET should be fine. I'm running 18x8.5 36et front and 18x9.536et rear. No rubbing issue when i had H&R SS springs. So yeah 36ET - up you should be good IMO

Check out ESM Wheels.

NOOOOOO... I found exactly what I was looking for on the ESM site, but the offset ends at 35.. Browsing their site did bring up another question though, would 18x8 and 18x9 work? I thought our cars needed 18x8.5 and 18x9.5?

No you don't need to get specifically widths of 8.5 and 9.5. Stock size is 7.5 and 8 or 8 and 8.5 if you have the 18 AMG wheels.

So if you go 18x8 +32 and 18x9 +40 it should clear depending tire size.
