FS: BBS LMs, 5x112, 18x8.5" and 18x9.5"

From the old CLK55, these have been refinished and the centers have been painted a custom VW color called pacific blue, which matched my W8 wagon 6 speed. These wheels are mint, includes bolts and centering rings from BBS.

Lips and centers were all professionally done when the color was changed, these are in perfect condition, wheel center color can be changed easily. Wheels have not been mounted since they were redone.

$2500+shipping from Columbus, Ohio. These wheels were close to $3600 new.

Sample pic attached.

Fronts are LM127 ET30
Rears are LM128 ET32

Sorry for not posting that detail previously. Someone asked if these are real or replicas...these are 100% real deal LMs.

Are they 3 or 2 piece wheels? How big are the lips, it’s hard to tell from those photos. How much do they weigh? Thanks

2 piece.

Lips are pretty standard BBS, not a massive amount of lip, but there is lip and more for the backs than the fronts. I can measure if need be.

Weights are in the 23lb range for the fronts and between 24-25lbs for the rears.

These are getting readied to be refinished in either BBS silver or BBS gold next week. The price will go back up accordingly to cover the additional expense. If you want them and want them in a specific color, speak now and put a deposit on them.

They should fit fine, but I do not have a C32 to test fit against. These came off a CLK55.

However, in researching I have found the same part numbers of my wheels are the ones recommended for the C32, LM127 and LM128, front and rear respectively.

The wheel guy is backed up for another week before he can redo the centers. Blowout price at $2100 cash and carry until they get refinished. They will be back up around $2500+ when they are silver again.

Where the wheels taken apart before re-finishing?

Yes, by a local wheel shop that does the work for the Lamborghini and Ferrari crowd, amongst others. Centers were removed, barrels were cleaned and repolished, centers were painted and cleared and then reassembled.

These should be starting the refinish process later today, returning them to silver, and raising the price back up.

if only they were silver and fit a w211. BBS and OZ are used on race cars, there is a good reason for it.
