I like them! There is always value in having unique looking wheels. And with a small paint job, like you said, they will look awesome.

it doesnt do much to me, although they look OK. Sorry.. I've never fancied BBS. Would prefer Superleggera III or Gioto myself.

Damn Frank, I was hoping you were getting LM's when I heard BBS. Not that the wheels you got are bad but kind of let down.

haha...after looking at flip's wheel I decided to go with these because of brembo clearance issue. the 30mm front on the LM 8.5 doesn't look like they will clear my brembos. just want to have less issues with it.

i'm planning to do them in black, so these are not the final look.

You're right Frank. I didn't even think about the BBK issues.

What are you coming in there for this time? I see your car roll out of the service drive all the time.

going to the dealer for car wash actually. not the bearing thing.

since I have the ODPS the service advisor told me to swap it back to stock and take it in, but I think it's just cheaper for me to order the replacement bearing online and find a shop to change it for me. much cheaper this way to avoid labor and hassle.

already ordered the bearing too.

Frank,

Can't you just have Albert swap it out for you?

by the way - free car washes FTW!
