BBS LM on a Silver X5? Pic request...

I am thinking of doing a set of LM knockoffs in a 20 on the X5 but I haven't been able to find a picture anywhere. If you guys are anything like me you probably have a ton of car pics saved. Do any of you have a pic of a silver E53 with LM's on it in your library?

Thanks!

Thanks! I think I read the article on that one. I don't know why I didn't remember the LM's.

I've been debating an LM knock off as well, do you have any particular manufacturers in mind? I think a rear E46 M3 fitment would work in a square setup on the E53. Add spacers if needed.

I don't have a particular wheel picked out yet. I've just been browsing eBay. I just can't justify an expensive wheel living in northern Utah. I broke wheels on several occations on my WRX. Plus I tow dirtbikes around and run to the resorts.
I'll probably do a staggered setup. I love the look of the giant steam roller tires on the back. I was going to have a friend photoshop some silver LM's on a silver E53. I'll post it up if he gets to it.

Anyone else have any pics?

It would look HOT. I've never seen one with 20" LM style though.
BBS LM is my all-time favorite wheels. I have a set coming for my Z32 18x8.5/10

Email me the pics if you want me to do the PS.

These are the only 20" LM style wheels that I know of: http://esmwheels.com/access/20-c-21_56_60.html

Again, likely setup to be E46 M3 fitment.

Thanks! I might hit you up on that! Yeah the LM's have always been one of my favorites. Plus I always seem to go back to a tuning fork style wheel.

I would guess those are the same ones I'm looking at. I found them here...

They aren't LM's on the LeMans X5, they are BBS Motorsport wheels. I think they are E28's.
