Someone else is running 20" LMs on this forum. Do a search and I'm sure you will find it.

If I'm not mistaken there is a Silver W211 running 20 inch BBS LM's in a charcoal finish just like Kaotik...

Same Wheels on a CLS












But i think the Cargraphics in the right size and the right lowering of the car would look better.
The star of the BBS is only 19" but from the Cargraphic these are 20"

These Work wheels look although nice

Yes, on the RS4 are Work wheels. But they look nearly the same like the Cargraphic.

The LM are hot but for the Cargraphic you can decide the offset and choose a big lip. 3 pice wheels against 2 pice wheels

I´ve sold my LMs 2 weeks ago. I´ll drive the Kleemann TS-6 in 9&10,5 x20 in 2008

Walter get the LM,s the Cargraphic wheels are very heavy I had a set years back I hated them on my Porsche, It made the steering feel vague from the weight and my front end in NY got shaken apart putting up with those rims. I then got a set of Champions 1 piece wheel and they are superior.

I dont like cargraphics

BBS LM is a true race wheel one of my favorites you cant go wrong. Whats the going street price of these 20" LM now?

I guess if they are WAY lighter, but the LM or other does not really do anything for me. Look kind of plain.

I agree, if you're going to spend the money, you cannot go wrong with LM's. Light, strong, beautifully constructed and they never go out of style.

BTW thanks to the member posting all those great pictures. Very nice stuff!!!

I just want more of a "racing" look... Something out of the norm.. Im even thinking of having my fenders pulled to fit a fatter wheel and tire combo...
