BBS on a 4th Gen???? Anyone? Anyone ever put BBS wheels on a 4th gen? I heard rumors a few years ago that the BMW bolt pattern was close enough but never saw proof that it could be done. BBS makes a nice killer looking wheel. Something in a gunmetal or titanium color wide mesh would look sick on a white T/A.
BMW is 5x120 and fbody converts to like 5x120.3? Its close enough to fit. I have put bmw wheels on my car for fun, the offset for bimmers is usually way different and that usually causes fitment issues not the bolt pattern.

a set of F1 or CH-R in titanium would look sich on a white car. there is a shot of a white BMW there with F1's and it looks really good.
67 goatman, you mentioned yours has a bmw bolt pattern. was this a conversion or you just used BMW wheels?
Bo jangles,
thats what im talking about, they apear to stick out past the fender though. is that the case or just the picture angle? What size and offsets are they?

If you're talking about the "Corvette specific" BBS LM wheels, yes, you're correct, they haven't been "in production" for about 7-8 years. In fact, I think I managed to snag the last set that was available, back in '05
[/IMG] ^^^ badass nice to see some more lms on a 4th gen!
I reverse mounted the centers to avoid using a spacer,
wich didn't really help all that much since I still had to
relocate the bumpstops to get the 315s to fit...
