Hello, all

Does anyone have pictures of their Audi A7/S7/RS7 with BBS LM ?
I surfed the internet and had no chance to get a sample pictures. I am thinking of putting 19" BBS LM on my A7 3.0TDi.
Thank you.

A google search of "BBS LM Wheels Audi" under Images brings up many photos of these classic wheels on older generation Audi's, but few on a A6/S6, and maybe none on an A7/S7 as you suggest.

Generally, some would consider these wheels as classic and timeless, others may think they are a bit old school due to the wider lip which can make the wheel appear smaller in the wheel well. I recognize this may draw flames but trying to present the wide spectrum view with some balance.

YMMV. Maybe a photoshop would help, sorry I have no skills in this area.

BBS LM wheels are "mesh" style wheels
BBS did not invent them but most people sees mesh wheels and they think BBS
The number of U shape is the type of mesh
Example mesh 5 mesh 6 mesh 10
Etc
The less U shapes the better the wheel looks (in my opinion)
Google mesh X Audi a7 and you will see different options
Being X the number of U's you like
The vossen precision series has a nice mesh 6 type

Thanks, feralc. Now I'm undecided between the Vossen mesh 6 and the Avant Garde 510 mesh 5

what do the AudiWorld peeps, think?

You have to ask Vossen if the precision series are available yet, they were prototypes because they are forged not cast.
Although they have a mesh 7 style the CV2
As I said before the less U shapes the better it looks so I vote for the avantgarde (but I am not familiar with the brand so do your research)

Thanks, man
Forged wheels gets real pricey, and driving around Chicago might give me an ulcer!
I'm leaning towards tha AvantGarde m510 20 x 10.5 size deep concave. Wheel shops in Cali told me I don't need to replace the TPMS, is that correct?

feralc

That is correct and the reason is our cars do not have TPMS, if the shop told you that find another shop
The car uses the ABS to calculate the speed of each tire so when a tire little by little or suddenly spins faster to keep pace with the rest, it means it is losing air.
