I've seen some of the BBS LM reps in person, they look pretty good. I just don't like when people go buy them and then put on the BBS caps and actually try and tell people they are real. -_-

I don't see why people care. Just change the title to LM/LM Style wheels. People called my TE37s, Rota Grids....who cars lol

What's the wheel tire specs on these Linea's?

I have changed the first post to reflect everybody's concern regarding original BBS LM.

Styinhonda, these are Linea Corse Lemans from wheeldude on a stock suspension. IMHO, this setup looks purrfect on the IS.

19x8.5 +38 front with 235.35.19 Nexen 3000 tires
and
19x10 +43 rear with 275.30.19 Nexen 3000 tires

when you compare the 2 side by side.. you can see a big difference. mainly in the lip and the spokes. real BBS LM's also have the specs pressed into the center hub area. maybe it's just because I have them.. but they're like apples and oranges.

I guess? Depends what kind of person you are. Those same people prolly go around saying "yeah I drive a Lexus". I've had Volks, Works etc. And then Rotas. Never felt a difference on track or on the road. It's all in what you like and what your looking for in a wheel.

I can see you saying, na they are real LMs but no reason to get pissed.

Yeah there's definitely differences between the two. I was just trying to say the reps actually still look good, but its dumb when people try to pass fake ones as real BBS when they obviously are fake.

agreed. i believe there's a company called BB5 which makes a LM rep as well. thats probably where they can get away with getting their "BBS" caps

Now that is funny!

Anyways, more pics of LM's or LM Style wheels?

Anyone have pics of the HB color on their IS?



How come WheelDude only has the Hankook's in 265/30/19's on their site? Do the 275/30/19's cause rubbing?
