What is going on everyone?
Gels from Fitment Industries FI Garage
and we're back with another wheel review for you guys.
But not just any other wheel review, no!
We have a special guest in house today,
as we're gonna be taking a look at the BBS LM.
Now, if you don't know BBS,
and you don't know the BBS LM,
I don't know what else to tell you.
It's one of the most iconic wheels
in the after-market wheel scene.
It was developed back in the late 1990's,
or actually mid 1990's,
right around 1994, is when this design originally
started to come out,
and these are produced in BBS's Japan factory.
Now, I know what you're thinking.
BBS, isn't that like a European, like, German company?
And yes, they are, however, their forged wheels,
their forged two-piece wheels like the LM here,
are actually produced over in Japan.
Now, when BBS first started out,
they did source a lot of their materials,
especially their forged materials, from Japan originally.
So they had no problem going over to Japan
to have these wheels manufactured.
However, that doesn't mean that it sacrificed by any means.
Every wheel that comes out of the factory,
whether it be in Germany or whether it be in Japan,
with the BBS name on it,
lives up to or exceeds BBS's actual standards.
So if it's getting a wheel from Japan,
it's going to be exactly the same as a wheel from Germany.
You're getting the same quality
and same manufacturing processes for each
to live up to that BBS quality.
So looking at the LM here,
this, like I said, is a very iconic, classic design
that is going to fit a wide variety of vehicles.
Of course, you're going to have like the BMW's
and the older Mercedes and all that kind of stuff
that these wheels are going to look absolutely fantastic on!
Anything from the Euro scene.
Volkswagons, the hot hatches, pretty much everything!
We've even seen Mustangs in our gallery
rocking a set of BBS LM's.
And that is for good reason,
because it is a multi-spoke design
or what BBS likes to call their cross spoke
or cross face design.
But it is a multi-spoke design.
It is a two-piece forged wheel.
So you have the actual barrel of the wheel,
the barrel and lip are one piece.
And the you have the forged face of the wheel
bolted to the rest of the wheel,
essentially causing two pieces.
Now, just looking at this wheel,
you can obviously tell
that it is an absolutely gorgeous wheel,
and then further or closer that you look into it,
you see that the amount of time and effort
that went into make this wheel really shows.
There is not a single imperfection
that you can see on this BBS LM.
Whether it be from the front,
where you see it all nice and shiny
to even the back, where you would never see it.
Nothing is wrong with the BBS LM.
From the center caps, the iconic BBS center caps,
to everything else.
The finish is impeccable.
Everything is super super quality.
And all and all,
there's really not to much to say about the BBS LM,
besides the fact that we actually have one here.
I can give you guys
a little bit of a closer look at an example.
So we're super excited to have this one in house.
Now, this here is the gold finish.
The LM comes in three finishes standard.
So you got the gold finish, you have the brilliant silver,
and you have the diamond black.
So three finishes to choose from,
either gold, silver or black,
which is a really great option to choose from.
It will fit a lot of different colors of vehicles.
And as far as sizes go,
you're looking at anywhere from 17 to 21 inches in diameter,
and depending on diameter,
you're looking anywhere from about a seven or eight,
up to an 11 inch width with the LMs.
Now, to the main point of these guys.
It is a two-piece forged wheel.
It is a BBS wheel.
They are going to be on the pricier side,
but you will get what you pay for,
especially when it comes down to your wheels,
and especially when you come to a name like BBS.
BBS has been around for a long time, since the 1970's.
They've proven themselves in the motor-sports scene,
time and time again.
There's a reason why the name has become so iconic.
