Ibis white s-line titanium...RS4 gunmetal reps or BBS LM reps??

**whitevdub** · 05-21-2008 11:07 PM

Honestly at this point I am just unsure about which rim to get. i really do like the RS4 gunmetal replicas and i also like the BBS LM replicas which i was planning on getting. the only thing is i'd have to deal with spacers for the LM reps. so the question is which one to get? i can use opinions and pics as well. thanks guys

go with LM reps, less people have them then RS4 reps plus you'd probably wanna use spacers with both of them anyway

yea that's what i really want to do. but i want to avoid the use of spacers. or what are some sick rims that don't require the use of spacers that are 18 inch?

Why do you want to avoid the use of spacers?

(New to this, so looking for info related to rims/tires)

**whitevdub** · 05-22-2008 09:04 AM

the only reason is because i dont feel like spending another 200 on top of the rims and tires

I think you should do something different then those wheels. just my opinion.

**whitevdub** · 05-22-2008 09:42 AM

any suggestions?..i'm really into the LM reps..just dont wanna use spacers , which you have to. would the install be easy on spacers btw. i'm thinking about only doing 3 or 5mm spacers. i only need the lug bolts for the new wheels and then tighten them up with through the wheel, then through the spacer?? is that how you do it

what are you using the spacers for? If it's just for looks I would suggest something a little more aggresive to have the wheels sit flush with the fender. I think you would need spacers with the LM reps anyways. Installing spacers is really easy, line the holes up and bolt on the wheels. Just make sure they are hubcentric. I have 12mm spacers right now but they are coming off once my wheels are out of the shop.

im using the spacers to clear the front calipers for the LM replicas if i decide on those wheels. so i would only need a small spacer.

Wheels are a very personal thing. It's like asking someone which shirt you should buy...

I've seen LMs on a white s-line and they look fantastic. In my very own personal opinion, I think the RS4 reps would look the best on a titanium package car. That's what I'm contemplating putting on my black titanium. The best thing you can do is to do a search for picture threads here and on the S4 forum.

It's beginning to look like you can't afford to mod the car right now. (commenting on the additional $200 for spacers/lugs, buying reps) Why not just save up and get a nice set of wheels down the road instead of reps more susceptible to bends/cracks?

I mean no disrespect, and every car is their own, just saying is all.

4ringlook- haha nah its all good. i'm only 20 so i dont have a set income. i really like the reps and i will probly end up getting spacers too. and yes modding is very expensive. it looks like i am going to get your brilliant black housings by the way. i am waiting for the oem brushed aluminum s4 housings from Kemiksiz still. it is ridiculous. it has been about a month and 10 days so far and i am pissed. how fast did you get yours in?

Louis J.-i think i am jut going to go with the LM reps and just say f*ck it haha. but yes the rs4 rims do look amazing especially in gunmetal on titanium packaged cars.

**4RingRook** · 05-22-2008 10:14 AM

Haha, I know what its like, and you still have a sick ass car for a 20 y/o. I don't think I've stopped putting money into mods since I bought the car in January.

As for the houses from Kemiksiz, they took about 5 weeks at least since they were coming from Europe. It takes forever I know.

If you def want the mirrors, they're yours. Just shoot me a pm.
