To rock the factory BBS rims or LFA reps..?
Just wanted to get your guys opinion, I've been riding on the LFA reps for most of this summer, and I'd like to maybe sell a set just to clean out the garage.
Should I keep the BBS (older style 2008), or what you see in the pic?

Yes lowered on Tein H techs, but before anyone says negative stuff about them, I personally like how they ride very much, super happy with the feeling and drop I got
Seems like the LFA's are a clear winner....having said that, how much could I list the BBS's for? They are all mint condition and currently have Michelin PSS tires, 245 and 275 setup, 90% new still.

Specs for the LFA reps:
19x8.5+38 +13mm over stock
19x9.5 +40 +21mm over stock
Did you ever lower the rear with the Tein springs yet? What tire sizes, any rubbing, and any other pictures? Running the Tein springs as well, definitely better than stock, handling, and ride comfort.

From a weight and quality standpoint, the BBS OEM wheels are better. They're forged and they're lighter. But from a looks standpoint, I really like the LFA reps. If you aren't racing or tracking your car, having wheels that are cast and a little heavier than stock really isn't going to be noticeable driving around town, and it's nice to have something else to be a little different. I'd keep the OEMs rather than sell them though, just because you may want to put them back on at some point.

I do agree that they look nice. The LFA reps will be heavier for sure, but the offsets are probably as close to getting the car as flush as possible with those offsets. But I'd keep the BBS wheels in case. The only thing I didn't like about the BBS ones were the sizing, but it was later changed by Lexus with a new wheel option.

The rear is still stock, but still debating on doing it, it just seems like a lot of work for a mere 0.5" drop, but i may still do it. The balance is not upset at all, handles very great and even smoother over bumps than factory front springs. There is no tire rubbing at all, tires are 225 front and 265 rears. I'll try to post up more pictures in a bit..
I may consider keep the bbs in case i ever get rid of the car, but its a 2010 so they aren't the stock wheels for that year anyways so it doesn't really matter at this point...
