Alpine White M-Performance build thread - 20" BBS LM, KW V2

Thanks for the opinions. If I do paint it I may paint the lower rocker panel white and the lower lip white for a different look. Got 6 months to think about it!

New white and gold caps from BBS USA! Just in time for Bimmerfest.

I hope so. I'm a little bummed that my tire choice isn't going to happen since the Michelin Pilot Super Sports are out of stock in the size I want.

gixxer_kidd · 05-15-2014, 08:22 PM

Just saw this for the first time. Love the setup.

How do you like the new caps? I have the same but I think they look more silver than white in person.

Darn really? What size did you end up going with? If you want the 235 35 20 265 30 20 setup I'd seriously consider the Vred Vorti tires. Not PSS but more affordable and a solid tire.

Thanks gixxer!!! Yeah really loving the caps. You are absolutely right. They look more silver than white. Almost matches the color of the silver paint of the wheels but with a pearl effect to it.

I'm trying to go with 235/35R20 and 275/30R20 which provides a hand full of choices.
Michelin PSS
Bridgestone S001
Pirelli P Nero
Nitto NT 555
Vredestein Vorti

265/30 is an option but with the rears being 10", I'm trying to keep the level of stretch equal between the front and rears or have the rear tires beefier than the front.

Tires are easily changeable so I can always switch if I'm not happy with my choice whenever the PSS become available. Dammit this waiting is killing me.

By the way, from whom did you get the caps from and what did you do with the red ones?

Ahh so you decided to go with the 10 rears. Very nice! Did you get them from Japan? I totally agree 275 30 20 is best for the rear on a 10.

I currently have every single cap color haha. Black and gold, black and silver, white and gold, and the red and gold. If you want a set of literally once installed red caps for a good deal, let me know! I get all my caps from Mike at pureMS.

Jimminez · 05-16-2014, 12:30 PM

Yup, going with the 10" rears largely to run the tire combo (allows for the rolling diameter to be almost identical to each other too) and well, just because

We are no longer going through a Japanese distributor but with BBS USA and am paying for the freight for the two wheels instead of them coming via boat with a larger shipment. Will be as fast as going through the Japanese distributor but saving some cash, so win/win.

Out of all the colors you have, you don't have these? I'm getting the stock black one and might take you up on the red option.

Sweet!!! Yeah dealing with Japan was a pain. Slow response and expensive freight so I said forget it on the LM-Rs. Really happy to hear you're getting hooked up by BBS USA!

Actually only have the ones that are readily available and not super rare japan editions. Let me know about the red caps! Can't wait to see them on your car!
