BBS LM'S - STAINLESS OUTER RIMS?

Hi I thought you V-Dubbers might be able to help me out on a BBS conundrum.

I've just bought some used BBS LM wheels for my Evo VIII.




Trouble is they are a staggered setup and I want to run the same width all round so I can rotate the tyres.

The sizes are 18x8 + 35 & 18x9 +35.
(They're 5X114.3 JDM imports).

They LM's are a 2 piece wheel. What I'd like to ask you is if you know of any manufacturers that make stainless outer rims for the LM?

I know Schmidt makes a stainless alloy lips that fit on BBS RM's and RS's but can I get 18 inch outers for the LM?

Ideally I'd like to make the wheels 18X 9.5 all round with stainless outers.

Please point me in the right directions. I'd thought I'd try my old buddies on here first but my next stop is the E38 possie.

Muchos Gracias!!!

Karl :D  :P

I used to own a mk1 - well I've had 2 actually - YDU 720X & SMU 420Y. Currently I drive an 98 Scotia White Mitsubishi Evolution V RS…. fancy getting another mk1 someday :D

Since no one has tried to help you, I'll have ago.

Right, they don't fit and I'm sorry to say you've wasted your money. No amount of modding will make them fit whatsoever. So if you want you can sell them to me at a discount :wink:
