Looks great guys! Very tempting, but my wallet has a warning light that says, "Warning: Low on Funds". :( Nevertheless, someone should jump on these. :thumbup:

[BreakMyWallet]

how muchhhh

[m330]

sickkkk

[Presns323i]

i like!!!

[NorthJersey 3er]

:drool: $$?

[GT werks]

sorry guys, thought I posted price on these already. They'll be $1050 shipped to 48 states.

Only two sets left right now. We'll have more in the coming months.

[LakeShow]

WOW...great price!

[bmwnetgui]

Are these 19x8.5 all around or do you have a staggered setup? It's really hard to tell the lip size from the pictures. Or maybe it's just me. Please pm me. I have money ready. Thanx

[bmwnetgui]

Just ordered a set. Thanks a lot Aaron. Great guys to do business with.

non staggered

[My1stM3]

Damn, those are a really good LM style wheel. Hmm..I could always get these and save a bundle of money over iforged :eeps:

When do //m fitament come in?

[GT werks]

these come in 19x8.5 only. The factory currently has no plan for the 9.5 rear.

first shipment all gone. We're now taking pre-order for the next shipment.

[Yellowmann]

Please post the specs of these and will it clear the StopTech BBK?

Can you please check this template out? Same for front and rear....

TIA,

[GT werks]

specs are 19x8.5 et38.

[TitanSilber ZHP]

You need to tell them that there is a demand for 9.5 rear, haha.

[russ330]

^Ditto on the 9.5 size. Those things still are pretty damn awesome. :thumbup:

[330 HRE]

Are these one piece or two piece as the rivets can be fake like the Roja Rims. Also are these cast?

[russ330]

^For the price I'm sure they're one piece, therefore making the rivets fake.

[hovisalan]

weight?

[GT werks]

weight = 28lbs.

these are 1 piece.

[Yellowmann]

Have you check this out for me??

[GT werks]

Have you check this out for me??

the back spacing clearance is about 36mm for brake clearance.

[hi its me alec]

If you can hook up a staggered setup, I'll sell my HRE's for these... there's definitely a HUGE demand.

[Yellowmann]

the back spacing clearance is about 36mm for brake clearance.

So you used the StopTech template and it clears both front and rear right? Can you measure how much it clear by?

Thanks,
Charlie

[iiimbpiii]

I would kill for a staggered setup!!!!! :drool:

[itsjiggajames]

are these still available? I might have the money in a week.. :yikes:

[GT werks]

just give us a call. We may have 1 set left for this shipment. First come first serve :)

next shipment will be in in June.

[m3lowrider]

Ill definitely jump on these if you guys get some for M3 applications :thumbup:

[Presns323i]

Wowwwwwwwww

[byunts]

very tempting :)

[bmwtec]

I can't believe he actually put the BBS center cap in them.

Do they even come with a center cap at all???

That's like buying a Stop Tech kit and painting the Brembo Logo onto them.

[russ330]

^Can you post anything without mentioning brakes? :confused:

similar to people who put acs stickers on their replica acs parts
it happens.

[GT werks]

It's up to the owners to put what ever caps they desire. :)

[Lugnut2683]

Or those who put BMW caps on CSL Replicas!!! :rolleyes:

These wheels are sick... I've been dying for an LM replica. I'm just hoping that not everyone and their mother ends up buying these like the CSL's, but with a price like that, I suspect this will end up happening. Amazing!

I concur :thumbdwn:

who gives a ****...can you tell the difference? cuz i know i cant. sick rims, btw.

[330 HRE]

There are suttle difference such as markings on the outside rim....something on the lines of UL or something. Other than that...it is one of the best replica rims I can see to date of the LMs. Putting on the BBS logo is like putting an M3 badge on a 3 series conversion to look like an M3...its the same logic and idea.

What would you put instead??:dunno: Def. not the BMW..

I dont mind the BBS center cap..
This wheels look great...But they arent staggered..

[330 HRE]

Put the GT Werks logo on there since they are selling it or the manufacturer that made the rims.:thumbup:

[tylor]

Those look great! I love gold mesh on a black ride!! No caps yet?

[AssassinGT]

I would put the bbs center caps. haha holy ****. Frank you still got any left?

[GT werks]

we do have 1 set saved originally for personal friend, but that's available before the next shipment comes in.

[spyder]

I have the caps but gtwerks only sent me 3 out of 4, i'm waiting for them to get more in stock, but i'm still not sure if i should put them on being that they are reps and all.

[GT werks]

we're waiting for the factory to send us some more caps. Once we've receive them we will send you one asap. The original one may have been lost during shipping.

[AssassinGT]

wait so someone make this clear, are they real 3 piece?

[spyder]

they are 1 piece.

Time to get rid of my wheels :cry:

[learthworml]

Are you guys going to make staggered ones soon? I guarantee you will sell a lot, just like the csl replicas did. 19x8.5 et40 and 19x9.5 e5 45. Are the wheels forged or cast? How strong are they?

[espresso330]

waiting for the m3 fitment . . .

they're cast wheels and are strong and light at 28lbs each for cast wheels.

Right now the factory does not have a plan to make a 9.5 rear, but if there are enough interest for ppl to put a deposit for us to help get the mold made for 9.5. We can definitely do this for everyone. :)

We'll post up some detail by the end of the week.

[Helrot]

I am interested in the non-staggered or staggered (depending upon price)! Do you expect to have another batch of these wheels soon? If so, I will put a deposit down!

:thumbup:

Helrot

[3TARD]

I'd be down to put a deposit on 19" staggered.......let me know

[dant]

just wondering, also are these available now?

[Presns323i]

i showed these wheels to TWO car enthusiasts who own/owned LMs... they all thought these were authentic :yikes:

impressive

[330 HRE]

The one way you can tell is the placement of the valve stem. On authentic LMs, the stems do not cut into the face of the web design. another way is that on the web design itself should be markings like JL or something along that shape. Plus you will have BBS stamped on one of the inner face Only a LM hore will know what is real and not. :) Another thing would be the offset would be on the face of the rim also.

[Lugnut2683]

The fact of the matter is, most of the people on this forum only go with what they hear, and can't even tell the difference between authentic and replica anyways.

I know a member on here who has these wheels and posted pics of them, and everyone was like "sweet LM's, those look great!". And then he had another thread where he stated that they were replicas, and everyone was like "wow, yeah, those suck... the are obviously replicas, just look at them." Dumb kids... :owned:

[learthworml]

Count me in for a deposit on staggered.

[golf]

me too for those staggered :)

Helrot

the non-staggered set batch will come in very soon.

as for staggered it'll cost $8-9k to get the mold made which it may not be profitable for us to do this right now even though we really want to bring a good product for people to enjoy. In order for us to do this we may need a GB of 20 people.

the 19x8.5 set will be re-stocked in couple weeks.

[gqhoney]

No staggered yet??
hmm.

[GT werks]

we're currently discussing the 19x9.5 with the factory to see how much exactly it will cost in order for us to work out how much for them and how many people needed.

[topazman]

i hope to join the list soon:evil: ...would prefer staggered though:thumbsup:

[dant]

I will buy the nonstaggered ones if they are in soon.... I am ready to buy wheels this friday. How long would the wait be if a staggered set was made.

[BreakMyWallet]

yeah. im definetley on the list for staggered

[GT werks]

non-staggered set will be in next week and ready to ship.

staggered set so far we've been contacting back and forth with the factory, but cannot come to an aggreement yet. 19x9.5 mold will cost $9000.

[Mo' speed]

Just to re-cap: 19X8.5 with 38et at approx $1050 for the set shipped?
What is the largest width tire on rear that can be used without having to roll the fenders?

Please let me know if they clear the 355's when you find out. If so, I'm down for a set

[unsp0ken]

how much are these wheels w/out shipping price? im local.

[topazman]

any more 19x8.5 sets left?

[GT werks]

any more 19x8.5 sets left?

yes sir :thumbsup:

[k3nmasters]

So for the staggered, we're awaiting to see if its worth the $9k right?

Hmmm... Staggered would be nice, but that = more $$$ for rear tires... LOL

[Presns323i]

staggered is probably not going to happen

[k3nmasters]

Ohhh :(

OK den 8.5 all around will do.
What tire size do you run on 8.5??
255/35/19 for a 330Ci w/ UUC V2 Springs + stock shocks??

[bagher]

Ususally LM reps look like ass. These look very good.

max size tire on the 19x8.5 you can run 255/35/19 or 255/30/19 with no problem. :)

bahger, thank you for the compliment :)

[Lugnut2683]

Would you recommend going with the 30 versus the 35 aspect ratio? My car is slammed on Tein coilovers... I'm wondering if a 255 tire with this wheel will clear the front inner fender well from lock to lock? :dunno:

Justin,

we would recommand 255/30/19 if you want to run this size for the rear, but I do not think it will work on the front as it's too wide.

[BreakMyWallet]

anymore of these in? 19's?

[GT werks]

yes, we have few more sets of the 19's available before the next shipment comes in.

no M3 fitment however.

I'm sure there's many pics but can you direct me to a set of 19" on a silver sedan?

Any word on this?

[Straz M3]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make these in a STAGGERED setup...I would buy 5 sets...PLEASE make it happen...

[Lugnut2683]

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE make these in a STAGGERED setup...I would buy 5 sets...PLEASE make it happen...

Straz, just to let you know, I heard that there was discussion of a staggered setup. The issue though (that I think most people are unaware of) is that if the manufacturer DOES produce a staggered fitment... the rear wheel will be wider, but it will have a different offset so that the rear wheel will not have a deeper dish than the front. I think most people here like the staggered setup because of the deeper rear wheel than front look, but if they do manufacture this wheel staggered, it will not have this visual characteristic (it will only be a physically wider rim).

[crownedballer]

damn that sucks...dont see why they wouldnt want to do this

[bimmerboy36]

I personally think that would still be better than just have 8.5 all around. Coming from staggered 18's stock, I'd rather stick with a staggered setup if I were to "upgrade"

[Presns323i]

damn that sucks...dont see why they wouldnt want to do this
its pretty simple.... i was told the mold for the 9.5" wheel would cost $5000

profit on the wheels is probably like..... 200$ (just guessing)
split between the manufacturer and retailer, thats like 100$ each (not sure how this works... im just guessing still)

that means they would have to sell like 50 sets of wheels just for the manufacturer to break even...
not worth it for them.

[bmw3series]

ill buy a staggered set...we need piks of them on a car......

[Lugnut2683]

Why do you prefer the staggered setup?

I'm on a staggered fitment right now, and my car has the characteristic understeer even with my Tein coilover setup. Going to a non-staggered setup will hopefully relieve much of this understeer. The main reasons people go with staggered are for the looks, unless you are running massive amounts of horsepower and need the extra rubber out back to put the power down.

My car is supercharged, however, it is not putting down massive amounts of power. I admit that it is just more aesthetically pleasing to me to have a wider setup in the rear, even if it is only .5 or 1" wider.

I currently run Pss9's and don't feel too much understeer with my setup.

Thanks Aaron... :mischief:

not worth it for them.

We spoke to the manufacturer on the cost of the mold and it was actually closer to $9000. The manufacturer told us that unless we're able to order 200pcs it won't be profitable for them or us to make the mold which Presns is correct that we will have to sell around 40+ set just to make even.

on the 19x8.5 setup you can run tires up to 255/30/19, so staggered tire is not a issue if you are looking to put the power down on the supercharged beast bimmerboy36.

btw guys, the next shipment we will have the 19x8.5 non-staggered set coming in as well as the 19x8.5 restock. Offset on those will be et32-35.

[russ330]

Any news on if 355mm Brembos would fit?

:thumbsup:

That TMS car doesn't ride on staggered. It runs on 19x8.5 all around, just like the set that GT Werks is selling.

Except that the TMS car uses REAL BBS LMs (24 lbs. each).

The real LM's are 24 lbs each? I thought they were lighter than that. Correct me if I'm wrong, but I believe that the replicas are 28 lbs each.

So there is a 16 lb difference between a set of real LM's and a set of replicas. These replicas cost about $1050, and the real deal costs around $4500. So for nearly $3500 extra, you are getting a weight savings of 16 lbs. That's $225 per pound! :eeps:

I think I'll just lose weight or ditch my spare tire, and be happy with my replicas. :D

[Presns323i]

well... thats not really techniclly true...
the weight of the wheels is different than the weight on the body... because the wheels have to spin.... and the weight difference is multiplied when the wheels spin.

[TonyluvSilvia]

waiting for the availability of staggered:excited:

[UnBreakable]

Geez... where are the wheels at? :D

[Lugnut2683]

well... thats not really techniclly true...
the weight of the wheels is different than the weight on the body... because the wheels have to spin.... and the weight difference is multiplied when the wheels spin.

Technically this isn't true either. At rest mass is = to rotational mass, and the "weight" does not change, because weight refers to the force of gravity on an object. It requires more force to rotate a wheel, because the entire wheel must be moved a direction in space, and it must also be angularly rotated. But if you want to be technical, the weight does not change. :craig:

[Helrot]

So when are the 18s going to be available? Do you have an idea what the offsets will be?

Thanks,

Helrot

Anyone know what happened to GT Werks? I've been trying to contact them for the past week with no success... :hmm:

Bump on this, if they are et 37 and you can ship to the UK i'll have a set :thumbsup:

I plan on making them in 17x8 4x100 for the mini cooper offset, but will need confirmation on what offset is recommanded and need feedbacks from the mini crowd however.

[britboy]

I think mine will fit 37-42, the reccomended et for the lms on a cooper seem to be 40 from searches so fingers crossed

[britboy]

not sure now, been chatting to someone who has 17x7.5 et40 and he needs a 10mm to clear his coilovers, i have bigger brakes on mine so it would prob need to be et35 for me in 8 but pref 7.5............
hope this works out for me, I love these wheels man!

[GunMoto]

Frank - What's the correct offset for a Civic EG? Also, will your 4x100 have the correct hub diameter for the EG? Thanks bro! :thumbup:

[TonyluvSilvia]

I plan on making them in 17x8 4x100 for the mini cooper offset, but will need confirmation on what offset is recommanded and need feedbacks from the mini crowd however.

there is 19x9.5 in the works.

So how long do you think it'll take to find out what ET you need for the mini crowd and then to the time they will be ready to ship?

[TonyluvSilvia]

there is 19x9.5 in the works.

Now that's the ticket! what's the ETA on those? offsets? :thumbsup:

[GT werks]

So how long do you think it'll take to find out what ET you need for the mini crowd and then to the time they will be ready to ship?

once offset is confirmed should take about 5-6wks before we get them in stock and ready to ship.

[pnguyen]

there is 19x9.5 in the works.

subscribed!!!! will you guys have the correct offset for e92's?

[fj0]

once offset is confirmed should take about 5-6wks before we get them in stock and ready to ship.
7.5" width on a MINI is much safer than 8". And why 17" instead of 18"? BBS LM's don't look good in 17"! :(

[britboy]

I agree about them being in 7.5, but they definately look good in 17", small cars look like theyre on rollerskates with bigger wheels.

[GT werks]

17x7.5 will be the size that we are going to do.

[britboy]

:thumbsup:

[britboy]

Also any ideas of cost + shipping to UK for the 17x7.5 (et40?) ?

I find it very unprofessional that photos of my car were used on your website without my permission/consent. I wouldn't have minded if I was at least TOLD that my photos were being used. GT Werks has told me that when "they have time" to update the site, the photos will be removed. However, I noticed that the pricing information for the LM replicas has been updated, yet the photos have yet to be taken down.

It's unfortunate that a simple situation like this had to be made public, but because an effort to rectify the situation has not been made, I felt that this step was necessary.
