19s are a possibility in the future. I don't know how many people have signed up, those who PMed me saying they are in, I don't count. Make a list up on here, so everyone can see it and keep track of it.

Don, what offsets are the E39 sets?

(stuffing them under an E30's fenders? Hell yes!)

Don Nguyen

very nice, time to start working on getting the finance manager (wife) to sign off. i might be able to bribe her by giving her my style 5s for her e34... hmm...

*edit*
possible to get a staggered set of 18x8 and 18x9 by splitting difference? $725?

Please add me to the list for 2 18x8 and 2 18x9. Hoping for price of $725. I convinced the wife, I'm ready to order when ever this is ready to go.

So far I don't see a list for anyone signed up, so as of now we don't have anybody for the group buy.

GatoEnFuego
02-04-2007, 01:46 AM

Don Nguyen
02-04-2007, 01:52 AM
Sure. Make the list

GatoEnFuego
02-04-2007, 02:25 AM
This is just a suggestion, but you are the vendor supplying the product, I would recommend editing your first post with a list and updating as people commit. I'm not going to maintain a list...

it isn't that hard to start the list. here, let me do it for you. anyone after you can just copy and paste with their name included. wish i had the funds right now Don. i would LOVE to see these on a 5'er along with the lip they will have.

I want to see how commited you guys are to this group buy, so it was just a simple request from me to those who are interested to sign up in a list. I've done group buys in the past, some successful, some not so successful. Sometimes you get 20 guys who are interested then 3 end up paying when all is said and done.

I am not forcing you to buy my product, I just want to be here and help you guys out as best I can. Some may remember me as just another regular meber here on the forums from before I became a vendor, so I will always be a member just trying to help out other fellow members that are on this board.

I do my best to provide the best service and help I can to this forum and people I meet, but don't expect me to get on my hands and knees and spoon feed you.

I have already done one step to show how dedicated I am to willing to support a group buy by getting in contact with the manufacturer/supplier of these wheels. All you had to do was start a simple list with your name on it.

If anybody has anymore questions and concerns, feel free to post, pm or e-mail me.

thanks.

BTW, for those who are interested on the e39 fitments. Add $100 dollars on top of the price for the wheels. The extra price is due to the neccessary professional machining that is required to make the center bore of the wheels fit on your car. Each wheel that is ordered for a e39 fitment is custom made per order requests.

Can you do wheel/tire packages? I might be interested if so.

Don Nguyen
02-21-2007, 01:52 AM
We don't normally do it for the LMs, since the warehouse where these are located at does not have the equipment to mount the tires. So we would have to bring it to a different location to have them done. You could just get the tires from tirerack.com (which is where we get it from anyways) and have some local place mount it for you. You save on shipping costs too since the wheels are lighter than a wheel/tire package would be.

Don Nguyen
02-27-2007, 06:32 PM
thanks for all of the orders so far guys, let me know if you guys have any questions or requests for any other wheels.

i'm in the same boat as you... once i start getting some more cash this will be my next purchase

we should try to get a list going to get that price lowered more!

... so tell me guys... how badly will i need a drop if i go from my 16in sport wheels with pretty thick rubber on sport suspension to the 18in LM reps with less rubber?

for reference:

I can only get them in 18x8 and 18x9

WLMS_F1
03-01-2007, 06:06 PM
Can you get the 18x8 and 18x9 for an e36 M3? Also, what is the quality of the wheels? Thanks Don!

WLMS_F1
03-02-2007, 06:47 PM
Where ya at Don?

Don Nguyen
03-02-2007, 06:53 PM
Right here.


yes, I can get that fitment for a e36 m3. The quality of the wheels are up there, we only sell wheels that come from A stock. Meaning, they go through a quality inspection before we purchase them. Unlike the ones on ebay, which are usually B or C stock which did not pass quality inspections and usually have some sort of defect on them.

Don Nguyen
03-03-2007, 01:05 PM

Goon
03-04-2007, 08:14 AM
I am interested. How much including shipping to Australia? Also along with the quote can you please specify if the price is in $Aus or $US.

Much appreciated.

03-04-2007, 10:18 PM
Any other manufacture with a wider option for these replicas?


I can only get them in 18x8 and 18x9

AlexxxE39
03-05-2007, 05:14 PM
can you sell them staggered? 18x8 fronts and 18x9 rears. If so, how much?

*EDIT*
nevermind, I just clicked your link and found pricing. would the group buy price apply to staggered?

WLMS_F1
03-06-2007, 07:22 PM
I can set you up with a set for $699 shipped.


Does this price include 18x8 and 18x9 as a set? Also, what about center caps?

Thanks Don!

Don Nguyen
03-06-2007, 11:09 PM
No, $750 shipped for staggered. It includes center caps.

Sound Of Speed
03-07-2007, 02:24 PM
Nothing wider than 9"?

Don Nguyen
03-13-2007, 11:57 AM
No, only 18x8 and 18x9 are available right now. Either high offset or low offset to fit your rears.

So for e39's it would be 850 for a set of staggered wheels?

Don Nguyen
03-26-2007, 08:15 PM
Correct, I will have to double check if he can get it done, but I need for you to be serious about the set first.

I8URVTC
03-26-2007, 10:51 PM
well money is kinda of short cuz i just order suspention (kw varient 1) How long would it take for them to get done? I need wheels and i love the way they look.

I will buy if you can get M roadster offsets.

03-30-2007, 06:04 PM
Hey Don, can the wheels be taken apart to have the centers done? I am guessing they are just one piece wheels though?

Thanks

the bolts can be removed and the face can be masked from the lip to be painted. A lot easier than other reps, where you have to mask both the lip and each individual bolt.

Don Nguyen

There is only one style of LMs on my site, they are the same.

I don't know when I will be able to get the GT werk reps or if I will be able to get them.

The price is $750 shipped right now, yes.

For M roadsters, I can get you the 18x9 ET20 rears, that is the bset I can do.

the e36 offset. current members are running that exact set up, let me know if u need their name, ill get it for you. all the needed was a rear fender role. good luck. im going to run 235/40/18s in the back

Yes, local pick up is available. Front is fine, rear might be slightly trickier. If you aren't lowered, you should be fine, but if you are, it may need a slight roll. If you do need your fenders rolled my friend, darksidee36 (Paul), can do it for you. He is located in Irvine also.

Unlike the ones on ebay, which are usually B or C stock which did not pass quality inspections and usually have some sort of defect on them.Cant vouch for Don but I have a pretty good idea where he is getting them from and the few sets I have mounted (maybe 10 or so) have really been good quality. In fact, I was quite surprised by the first set to be honest with you, I wasnt expecting them to be THAT good.

Don Nguyen

Yea, I can get 18x9 in ET20. E34 uses the same center bore as the E36s too I believe.
