Rims question?

Im in the market for some 18" BBS LM. I have $1500 right now that im willing to spend on a clean set of rims and as we all know bbs lm cost more than what i have right now. Theres a local shop that sells the bbs lm replica for $1500 with tires. Should i just wait and see if i'll get lucky to find a used set of bbs lm for my price range or should i go with the rep? Also i own a 05 c230 kompressor. Would 18s be perfect?

NOTE: I want to get atleast 18" but i have no idea which one to get. 18x8.5/10 or 18x10? Whats the different between the 18x8.5/10 and the 18x10? Keep in mind its going on a 05 c230 kompressor.

WTB: 18" BBS LM

Im looking to purchase a used set of 18" bbs lm in fair condition with no major flaws. I have $1500 right now. I know bbs lm go for more than what i have but if u have a set that u dont need and is willing to let it go for this price, please pm me. I would also consider 18" bbs lm replica, if used then please post up your price. Thanks.

Get reps there is no way you are going to find any for 1500.

BBS LM REP?

I know these are replica's and i know im gonna get a lot of replies telling me to get the real thing but i dont have that kind of money to spend on some rims so i need to know which brand is the better one quality and look wise, the Linea Corse Lemans or the Miro 279/mo2?
