what do you guys think about bbs lm replicas and putting the bbs center caps on??? is it okay to have or bad? we know the real lm have a more aggressive setup than the rep, but what do u guys think?!

 

Personally, I wouldn't put the center caps on. I guess if you have no other choice then leave them on but if you are going to get replica wheels, don't try to pass them as real.

 

I don't really like the idea, but I know many people do it just because they know a lot of untrained eye can't tell the difference. It's their way of saying "I'm a baller" but without being one.

It's one of the things I've seen many 'ricers' do. If you don't have BBS, then don't put it on.

 

This thread makes me laugh.
Dont fake the funk.

 

hahaha i no i just wanna see what ppl opionions are haha good topic tho :P since alot of ppl do it i just wanna see what ppl on clublexus think of it!

 

To pick between ugly holes and a bbs caps, I'd leave the caps, unless u can find some nice Lexus caps. The LM reps r nice saw them in LA for 900. Won't clear bbk unless u use spacers.

 

its no different then putting VOLK stickers on Rota's. it's so stupid. spare yourself the embarrassment.

 

you can fake out the ignorant but you will attract the wrath of the knowledgeable, my advise to everyone thinking of doing this: Don't

 

Don't do it.

 

Seems like I've seen tons of these types of threads in lately, but I'm bored, so I thought I'd chime in with a different viewpoint.

(BBS Viewpoint) Preface: I know there are a lot of BBS fans here. I understand the loyalty due to good customer service and quality experiences. I personally don't believe that all their products are original, and to be frank I would consider some of their designs to be replica's of other people's products.

Having said that, I think it's distasteful to buy a different (especially a cheaper) product and then try and fool people by putting a different center cap on the wheels; People should be proud of what they purchase. I personally am not a big fan of people that buy IS250's and put IS350 badges on them, and obviously the same would apply to people putting -F badges on ISx50's as well.

However, there's always going to be a certain segment of the population that decides to go this route (despite popular opinion), so I don't think its worth getting worked up about (expressing your opinion...yes; getting so upset leading to an early grave...no).

...and that's my 2 cents ;-)

 

I don't see anything wrong with buying a rep, just don't try to pull it off like it's the real deal. If you buy a rep, rep the rep.

 

that sounds goodd haha

 

it wouldn't matter, since we all now know that you'll be running replica BBS LM wheels.

 

Rep the rep...lol I like that yeah I also agree with everyone if you going to buy replicas of the real thing don't try to pass them off as the real thing thats with everything!cloths shoes wheels iPods etc etc etc someones always trying to pass something off as the real thing when anyone with knowledge on the particular product that you are trying to replicate knows and then you looks like an ***...lol

 

+2, I agree too.
