A few zoners have these wheels, edit the title to 'Lenso BBS reps' and you will get more views from the right people :wink:

i have a set on mine 16" x 7.5 all round, am pretty happy with them and they suit my car. I have had them about 16 months and they are still in great condition, i do look after them of course. I am not normally one for reps but all though these are not cheep i just couldn't justify buying the BBS originals for my car as i use the car most days. Am sure some people will say there just cheep copies but lets see them part with the best part of 2K for the original BBS's with rubber, personally i would rather buy another whole E30 then spend that sort of cash on wheels for MY car. Saying that if mine was a shower i would have the BBS's with out a 2nd thought.

Here you go Lee, ignore the engine bay pics though as it now has a shiney M20B25 and also a manual box and different ss exhaust. There should be some pics from the Total BMW mag feature after the engine and box was done if you have a search you should find it easy. :D

I personally think they are too expensive for reps. By the time you have tires you are looking at close to £1k.

Have a look what sort of used wheels you can buy for £1k on edition 38. You will end up with some very well made, rare, real splits (admitedly not 16" bbs) that will be worth £1k if you choose to sell them in the future.

I'm not saying I don't like the lensos because I do but not at that price.

Get over to edition and see what is available.
