20" BBS LMs or 18" VOLK TE37 SL
Hey guys, wanted your opinion...
I have two sets of rims and I'm debating on which set to keep: 20" BBS LMs vs. 18" VOLK TE37 SLs Thoughts? I've already posted my LMs for sale in the classifieds (http://www.m3post.com/forums/showthread.php?t=649576) but I'm having separation anxiety! Hopefully you guys can help me quell those feelings. |

Keep the LMs. 18s are just too small and the TE37 don't look that great on the M3 imo.

There have been many times I almost purchased a set of LMs because they look so damn good, but I just could never pull the trigger.
The TE37SL is a lightweight, strong, and great looking wheel. With that said, keep the LM, sell me the TE37SL.

TE's will be lighter so you should benefit from the un sprung weight and they look better on the M3 but thats just my Opinion.
I am all about performance first so i would always go with the lighter wheel but the only thing i don't like about the SL version is they don't offer center caps. |

No brainer here. Keep the TE37s. I have never liked BBS wheels and LM's are no exception.

You can get a center cap adapter for the TE37SL that'll let you fit pretty much any Volk center cap.

But it's kind of an expensive proposition to keep both rims! The only problem i have with keeping the LMs is that the wife and I recently had a baby and I'm trying to keep the ride as "smooth" as possible when they're in the M3. |
