The BBS LM, 30 years on and even more of a masterpiece now than in 1994 when it launched.
Time has made this wheel iconic, from European to JDM applications, it's hard to think of too many wheels to have stood the test of time quite the same way.
With a large range of size options, and fitments for multiple vehicles, it would be easy to say there was no need for us to do this, but at MK we wanted to go a step further than the off the shelf option, to bring out a BBS LM wheel that meets the modern standards of GT-R fitment. Introducing The LM470.
For the first time ever, 18x10.5 +15 5x114.3 sizing is now available for the Nissan Skyline GT-R range. Working with BBS Japan for over 18 months, we are pleased to launch the LM470 exclusive to market through MK Motorsports and our dealers.
With four colours to start with, Diamond Gold disk & Bright Black Diamond Cut rim, Diamond Silver disk & Bright Black Diamond Cut rim, Diamond Black disk & Bright Black Diamond cut rim along with a return of the popular favourite Gold disk with Gold rim to elicit a feeling of the old F1 Championship Edition LM.
Maximising the ability of a 2-piece die-forged structure, creating strength and rigidity well and truly beyond what you get from a CNC cut forged blank. From the first company worldwide to produce forged aluminium wheels, BBS Japan is an expert in the field, utilising decades of forging knowledge they still to this day create the finest forged wheels.
