The main difference between these two wheels is BBS LM are 2 peice forged and the BBS RE is a one piece forged. Both are very high quailty strong and lightweight.

I have the LMs on my C-5 and really like the look. Unfortunately, as far as I know, they've been discontinued in those fitments.

I don't know if they'll ever be made again, but the original centers that CCW was using, about 10-12 years ago, were cast aluminum, BBS look-alikes. They were really sharp looking wheels, and had a set on my Z-28 for a while.

Which wheels are you referring to? I'm not big on those picture posting websites, but give me an e-mail address, and I'll send a couple of pix along.

Hey guys never updated because i never got them. The wheels were in LA and im 30 miles north of Sacramento, or an 8 hour drive. I arranged to go pick them up and about half way there the d bag called and said he had just sold them, even though he knew i was on my way. I was livid i wasted $175 filling up my Suburban to go down there. And now i've decided to sell my Trans Am.

I just bought a very rare 1995 BMW 540i Dinan 6 speed. I have been looking for it for a long time. 4.0 v8 315 horsepower 3400 pound car 4 door. I sold my 325is to buy it, i am selling my WS6 to pay off all my debt and start buying rental properties. In about a year i plan on tracking down one of a few car. a 99 firehawk anniversary, a 2002 black ws6, or and "cheap" 98+ ws6 to mod like crazy, or a Z06 in any year. Or a 2003+ Viper. Or a 95+ Ferrari f355 Berlinetta. Havent decided.
