E 63S Wagon Renntech, E55 Renntech, SL65, SL 55 030, ML, bunch of old ones--they come, they go...
They do look....
..great, but I wouldn't say those fronts were flush. I would say that's a bit outside the safe realm for rubbing, suspension wear, etc. Even Inden recommends wheel well work in the front for 9's.
They do look excellent though, and if I'm not mistaken, I think BBS has dropped the 20" application for R230 in everything but the CH-R. I was going to splurge for a set of the 20", but don't think they are still available. Anyone else know, or have a more current BBS guide than I? I guess I could still get some thru Inden, but boy that's going to be spendy with the freight, VAT, etc.

Um...
yeah, I'm fully aware. The fact that BBS appears to have dropped the real ones is why it caught my interest. Thus, wondering where he got these....

But even at stock height, the wheels look good on the car, need to see it in person.
Yes, Varrstoen.
All of them have polished lips with lighter grey center btw, the bad iPhone pic quality prob make the color looks different.

No spacers on fronts, I put 10mm spacers on rears to clear the calipers, I think 7mm should be enough to clear them though.

I just confirmed with three wheel vendors (including Tirerack) that BBS doesn't make LM in 20s for R230 chassis.
The only available size are:
LM154DBPK 19X8.5 5-112 ET32
LM155DBPK 19X9.5 5-112 ET32

They do look great....
but I really worry about the bolt circle...I know it doesn't sound like much off, but at 100 mph, on a 3800 pound $100k car....that sorta concerns me. Great visual tho....
