BBS LM face color question

slowpoke · 06-25-2009, 11:24 PM

So I'm looking for a new set of rims and I'm deciding which ones I want. I came upon BBS LM rims and I know I want a color combo on the face of it but from the pictures I've came across, there are two types? As far as I know, the BBS LM are 2 piece set that come apart and you can color them such as Longtran who did one for someone on this board. What's the diff between these different wheels? How come one has the face colored up to the nuts while one doesn't?

(this one done by Longtran )

better example: ( see the difference? Is there like 2 versions of BBS LM? )

Hi Slowpoke,

On one, the face is tightened from the inside and the other from the outside. This is most commonly used to differentiate front and rear wheels.

oooo that makes a lot of sense and seems so obvious now X-x haha thanks. So it's just pretty much preference since I've seen all 4 with the same styles.
