Gotta love those "Style 5" BBS BMW wheels, which are basically like a BBS RS or similar BBS model (RM, etc.).

Pics saved. There was a time when I was thinking about gold BBS-style wheels for my SC. I thought it would match my gold color but doesn't really. Was wanting to go for that old school, classy look. Here's the closest pic I have of those on an SC, without the black spokes and with 1" Eibach drop, but 16" BBS RS mesh:

Don't know what all the flaming towards them is all about... I think they look fine. Would I put them on my SC? No... However I think they look alright if you're on a tight budget and want something that looks a little after market.

the wheels do look more aggressive without the center cap, but it does make it look naked.

Those wheels look similar to mine. All I know is that mine were offered as a high end option for 2 or 3 years by lexus then discontinued. They might have taken stylistic cues from BBS but they are OEM Lexus. I have them in gold and chrome and they look bomb for my car. Check my other posts for pictures.
