on the LMs have stopped. called all the usual suspects, tire rack, supreme power parts, independent in canada...all say that BBS is no longer making the 19" bolt patter 5x100. 18", yes, 19" no.

Default Time to go Porsche staggered fitment 5X130 with adaptors :-)

seriously. While some don't like the bolt circle being outside the center of the wheels - I don't mind. I'd rather have staggered fitment and BBK clearance - both easily achieved with Porsche fitment.

Tire rack, so no luck. Maybe SPP will special order one for you?

Default What needs to be replaced? Lips or barrels might be able to be found separately....

from Europe and other avenues.

Default BBS never sold parts for LM's, so spares... probably not, but HPA in

Canada still lists a full range of sizes. Maybe they're importing from Japan?<ul><li><a href="http://www.hpamotorsport.com/product_accesories_BBSWheels_LM.htm">BBS LM's at HPA</a></li></ul>
