Pickig up an extra set of wheels for my E55 - know where to find BBS LM style wheels?

I'm looking to pick up an extra set of wheels for my 03 E55 but I don't want to pay a ridiculous amount. I love the BBS LM style wheels and I've seen them all over Ebay for BMWs... But none for AMGs. Does anyone know where to get them by chance? I want them in a 19" just like this ebay listing:


Also,
Another choice I have is these:
Has anyone here tried those? With a 9.5" rear could I fit 285s in the back? I want to run as wide a tire as possible.

Thanks for all the help!

It is tough to find "cheap" new LMs. I did a search and I saw a couple of sets up for sale on this board in Nov. and Dec. of 2008.

And yes, you can run 285s on the rear 9.5s and 255s on the front 8.5s as long as you don't slam your car.

I am looking at the same wheels. My wheel guy is actually working on it as we speak. If everyone is interested I will make him aware that several board members are interested and we can maybe get a package deal going. Let me know your thoughts or if anyone hunts down a couple of sets.
