sorry, not rare as such but they are much less popular and not seen half as much as the RS

[Retro_wheels]

Lm's? not that i know of, i can get hold of them no problem, its the RS's that are a nightmare to find

[harry_p]

exactly, they havent made RSs for years, how can there suddenly be loads of cars on RSs. al the sets cars are wearing now must have been sitting around in sheds for ages waiting for people to remember how cool they are

however, the size of RS has a lot to do with how rare they are. there are lots of 15in ones around on the vw scene, a lot in 5x120mm pcd in 16in, but 17ins of all size are fairly rare and 18in even moreso.

i have a pair of 8x16 and pair of 9x16 RSs in 5x120mm sat in the garage at the mo. as a wheel theyre lovely, but i wanted 17s and couldnt afford a set of 17in RSs so got some style 5s

i personally think the LM is more suited to a more odern car. think they would look spot on on a motorsport inspired e36 M3

[BIGJO]

RS for me, i've put my vote in

just because we see type 5's at shows and on forums don't mean you shouldn't got for them!

LM's are cool but the RS rule, come on theres no competition! they only downside to these type of rims is the serious cleaning and maintanence (sp) needed to keep them as they should be

I kick myself all the time for selling my mint never fitted to the car BBS RS 4 studs

LM's for me!

As these are the wheels i'm looking to get

I'd go for 17's myself but do like the look on 18's (wouldn't know how much they would effect handling though?)

A guy on s14 called Swede seems to get them every now and then.

I know he has a black centered set of 17" LM's for sale right now!
$3K is what he's asking i think

[SDM]

given the choice (lucky git) i'd get the LM's all day long.

[maxfield]

Was looking at swedes the other day.

Not sure of weights but either way there probably lighter than the wheels on it now

[maxfield]

Lm for me as harder to come by and too many m3s have the bbs rs now

how many have run 18" RS's though?

not sure really but i have 2 sets here 8.5 and 9 didnt think there were that rare

are they mint and up for sale

[maxfield]

That was suppose to be dmaxfield by the way

Good call.. Im with LM also

[Falkster]

LMs all day long!

I think the opinion that they are rare is by the fact that no-one ever sees them but Im sure that due to the fact that they are very expensive (so I was told)

[Retro_wheels]

they are pretty expensive, between 1500 and 2000 pounds to buy new

[chicken]

RS's make me come!!!

[NL-BMW]

BBS RS

Best suites rims for the e30 IMO

[d6dph]

Another vote for LM's. Nice and fresh looking, a little less fussy imo.

[Dave_M3]

I'd nearly go for the LM's but in silver not in grey like the 1s on the M3's at the start of the thread.
First I was going to say RS but I think the LMs suit the M3 even more imo. The fact they are Modern look makes the car look younger but still no doubt a classic

[dmaxfield]

I would like to thank everyone for there opinion but decision is now made ,I am going for the Lm,s

[d6dph]

Good choice, Something a little different from the norm.

Look forward to seeing the pictures.

[Julian_Jules]

Both are very nice and I also agree that the RS gives it a more period look ( but do lose the all chrome finish ) Naturally, its also more common...

The LMs fits but look more appropriate on a e36 upwards.....

What are u looking for? Correctness or Uniqueness? Only u know the answer.

I wun mind either! or even a Alpina!

[Retro_wheels]

Sizes are 8 and 9x17 for those who asked about the Lm's in a 17

You pay for them

[spence_star]

RS all day long, but dont they come in only 5 stud, which means a conversion to your hubs?

They come in 4stud

Plus the cars an M3 so comes with 5stud as standard

[slinky2000]

RS's all day long for me

[maxfield]

Old or what

My dads chose LM but will probably have to wait now

[bss325i]

RS's I want some for mine or even borbet b's!

[maxfield]

Everyones doing borbet Bs to death might have to go something else

[wokke]

Maybe a more practical point:
RS are 3-piece and spare parts can be found rather easily while LMs are 2 piece and if a rim is damaged forget about finding spares. Even BBS can't repair them because they don't have spares anymore (talking about 17"). I recently had a discussion with them regarding this.
