Where can I find...

Okay before I get flamed I just want to say that I did search for BBS LM reps. The only thing that comes up is numerous threads of people who have already sold them and one thread where the same question is posted yet there is no clear response. So my question is where can I find a set of BBS LM reps. Not looking for time attacks. Just plain 19 inch BBS LM reps. Thanks.

ya you are going to get flamed!

umm ebay has some, classifieds, i think spp had them first. You will have to run atleast a 5mm spacer to make them clear front brakes.

hope this helps

hey thanks for the quick reply. I looked at spp they don't have them anymore. I didn't know I would have to run a 5mm spacer in the front to clear the brakes. That's good to know. I've heard many people with problems with vibration running spacers on the front.

i run the replicas.

no vibration even at 80mph.

but i believe they are discontinued in the 19" size? correct me if im wrong, i was on a hunt as well.

spp ... i called them directly and they had em ... i know theyre not the website.

From what I've heard, they're getting harder to find brand new. I don't know who makes them anymore.

Yes you'll need a spacer in the front to clear the carrier. No, spacers are not bad at all and will not cause any problems as long as you install them properly with the correct lug bolts. They won't vibrate/fall off/shake or anything. Anyone who says so is lying or doesn't know how to install them properly.

I just found some 19" lm reps on ebay. I am going to contact the dealer tomorrow to make sure they will fit a B7. They state on the site that for certain applications spacers will be needed in order to clear front calipers so I assume they will fit the b7. Here's the link to the ebay store. http://stores.ebay.com/euro-wheels-usa If you look through the wheels I believe the 19" lms are on the third page or so. By the way thanks for clearing up the spacer issue phrost.

I have them in 19x8.5 and got them from SPP last year. BBS has a lawsuit out against the manufacturer so they are going to be harder and harder to come by. As far as spacers, I run 2mm spacers from ECS in the front. They are close but zero issues whatsover. Totally fine. Anth has them too and I think he is on 3mm spacers. Either way, no worries.
