BBS LM or Volk TE37SL

335 oClock · 10-30-2011, 06:00 PM

this is the last comparison, promise.

BBS LM in diamond silver finish or volk te37sl in pressed graphite

PeteW84 · 10-30-2011, 06:37 PM

Love the classy looks of LM's, therefore the LM's would be my wheel of choice.

AoS810 · 10-30-2011, 06:54 PM

They're both nice, but I'd get the TE37SL strictly cause they're super light.. and the LM's are super heavy? car may feel snappier

zeenon53 · 10-30-2011, 07:10 PM

Real LM's of course.

#Tee · 10-30-2011, 07:13 PM

LM's easy

CaliE90 · 10-30-2011, 07:19 PM

What's theme are you going with your car?

classy daily driver: LM
Aggressive and track-orientated: TE37SL

Pcemkr · 10-30-2011, 07:39 PM

If you don't ever plan on tracking your car or can afford an extra set of track wheels, I'd say LM's. Go for diamond black face, it's classy and aggressive.

datbimmerdoe · 10-31-2011, 10:31 AM

show = lm
track = sl

vasillalov · 10-31-2011, 10:39 AM

Keep in mind the TE37SLs do not come with a center cap. So your wheel hubs will show their rusty face unless you've taken care of that....

The LMs are a great wheel, but I really don't like the idea of cleaning the inevitable brake dust off the wheel bolts and all those nooks and crannies.

Both wheels are great though, I just won't purchase any of them personally.

montreal red · 11-15-2011, 08:19 PM

i've got 2 sets of te37SL rims... the other one is on my car. my vote is TE37SL for sure!

DISCOtecizzz · 11-16-2011, 07:13 AM

LMs.

Rotiforms are nice too...usually see me on VWs though.

I'd get LMs with the proper offsets...go wide.

3002 tii · 11-16-2011, 09:18 AM

Can't go wrong with either, it's whatever look you're going for... classic Euro and track/JDM. If you go with Volks, make sure to do a stud conversion and get some baller lugs =P

335 oClock · 11-16-2011, 09:25 AM

got volk g2 check out my :P MXP lug nuts with stud conversion!

TSM330i · 11-16-2011, 11:06 AM

I prefer LM-R over LM.

If you want aggressive look then TE37SL

If you want a very classy looking wheel with phenominal quality then go LM

IMHO a best of both worlds would be LM-R in DMK.

rims are already purchased on put on, check out my sig, /thread/
