On my list of favorite wheels, 3 of them are BBS!

E88
LM
LM-R

Anyone know if the LM-R are available in 18" for our cars? I think they are only 19's.
The LM variants are only available in 19 for our car. And with the LMs, they are two piece versus three. And they also have big brake clearance issues if you plan that route. I have been an LM fan since I saw a black B5 S4 with them. I really like the LMs, but two piece and 19" are a no-go for me. I would rather have an 18" cast wheel.

For reference, CCW's 3 piece options can also be individually replaced like this. I'd be surprised if HRE's 3 piece options aren't also individually serviceable. I don't know if other 3 piece manufacturers are, but at least have personal experience doing so with a set of CCW classics on another car.

HRE's 3-piece wheels are in fact individually serviceable as well.

The center lock caps look pretty good installed on the e88s. I have a set on mine.

I had a set and didn't care for em. The faux center lock with lugs looked abit goofy to me. To each their own.

you can make an LM a true 3 piece if you're really interested. There's a way to make them look real good too. Factory offerings aren't ideal.

You are welcome. They are timeless. The gold looks fantastic on black and fitment is spot on. It doesn't get much better than this. I'm glad I could get these set up for you!

You're 2/2 on perfect fit, really appreciate the help!
Car was clean for one evening, but sunny morning caused track outing for a couple short sessions.
