EDIT: Wheels actually have good reviews and are not very heavy at all. Great looking wheels.

wheeldude is a reseller of rota's, which are great everyday wheels but be warned that there have been many issues with bent and broken wheels. I believe most of these cases can be attributed to earlier production runs with perhaps poor quality control but nontheless. On the plus side though, the wheels are only about $400/ea so if you bend one you can cheaply purchase a new one. If I recall correctly, they are about $1200/set.

OK, but I...
don't think there is any danger of confusing those with a real LM in a Mercedes fitment. Maybe in an Audi of VW, but not for MB cars. But price is attractive at the cost of roughly 1 real LM wheel.

I have a set of BBS LM's 19" that I just had refinished/powercoated/lip polished in gunmetal grey. All are in excellent condition and have not been on the road since refinish. One wheel had a crack when a bend was being fixed but that was professionaly corrected by vrwheels.com. The have brand new center rings, and come with BBS Racetrack CF centercaps.
Selling for $3000 for the set + shipping (new they cost $1200 each as seen above).
Prefer local sale (Orange County, CA)

Interesting. I though that BBS didn't need hub rings. What car were they originally built for?

They were built for a w210 E55, but the hole pattern and offset are the same for the w211. The BBS wheel # is LM154 if memory serves me correctly. I forgot to mention, that these are non-staggered. 19 x 8.5 all around.

Not really. The offset is not correct between both models. I have W211 wheels AMG FS that can fit a W210, but not 100%. Ask Ohlord. On top of that the lug bolt diameter is also different between a W210 and a W211.

I double checked with tirerack and the LM154 offset will fit both w210 and w211 models perfectly fine. Regarding the bolt size, you are correct that the w211 has a thicker bolt (14mm vs 12mm) however, the wheel will take both bolt diameters. You will need conical bolt heads and not ball heads with a 1.5mm thread pitch. I would recommend calling Mike at purems.com to get the exact bolts for your needs. I used RAD and they are pretty much the best out there.

For reference, the BBS LM 154 has an offset of 32mm.
The W210 E55 came stock with ET31 front and ET35 rear.
The W211 E55 came stock with ET30 front and ET39 rear.
