Default Experience with BBS LM wheels?

Gentlemen,

We are curious what experiences you may have with BBS "LM" Model wheels, using them for racing or HPDE. Of particular interest to us will be if you ran the "staggered setup" of 17" fronts and 18" rears.

Also, if you have experience with various tires on these wheels, what they may have been, and how did they work.

Thanks for any observations.

had some on my c5 z06. great looking wheels, mine were stock sizes, but wish i would've widened them. mine also had the clearcoat peeling problem on one wheel. they were tough to clean as well, but beautiful when they were clean!

Brian,

We have to agree -- the LMs are very striking!

Anyone care to comment about their use specifically on the track? Weight, flex, cooling, transitional feel, strength (against breaking), etc?

Thanks.
