I used to know the name of a brand that made knockoff BBS LM wheels and have forgotten, and unfortunately I'm not in the financial situation to be spending $900+ on each rim. Here are some pics. They don't have to be a brand that makes perfect wheels that look just like them, but really just in the "style" of the BBS LM with the Y shaped spokes. Here are some pics:

Like I said, I don't care if they are the same, I just want a brand that makes wheels with Y shaped spokes, in that "style".

I'm just looking for an all around mesh style wheel with the Y spoke pattern that will cost $250 or less per wheel and comes in descent widths, preferably a 18x8 and 18x9 staggered setup.

You have the internet bro. Use it like we do. Quit wasting our time with pointless threads and do the research yourself. You probably could have found it by now.

I've been looking for the past few hours and can only find 18x7 in 5x114.3.

i believe lenso and HP or some other company makes them.

google it and a bunch of bimmer forums will pop up.

but most only make them in 5x112/120 so make sure to get some adapter spacers.

oh and also, try not to get those homo spec wheels on that SC.

ugh so ugly.

I have heard that there are many debates over knockoff vs. authentic wheels.

I'm not sure what the deal is, though...

Look for Original Equipment OE Steel custom wheels by size in the S.F. South Bay Area - Discount Tire/America's Tire (http://www.discounttire.com/dtcs/wheels/original_equipment/product/byName.do?r=CSBINT&tmn=OE+Steel&typ=Car%2FMinivan)

there you go.

i personally like to look of widened steelies, not diamond racing or other circle racing shit, but actual widened steelies.
