    BBS LM alternatives for Golf GTI Pirelli

    Hello,

    I'm looking for BBS LM's for the Pirelli but they are quite expensive! Are there any alternatives out there besides for the BB5 LM's?

    Any other wheels that look like that but doesn't necessarily look exactly the same but has the roughly same mesh design? I'm looking for 235s or maybe even 255s if they fit?

    Hmm..if you want, you could look at Lenso wheels. They have a few mesh BBS-style designs and aren't very expensive at all, but they're definitely no BBS brand.

    HP wheels are another with a nice mesh design.

    A certain model of Speedy wheel (the name escapes me at this time sorry) is probably what you'd be happy with in terms of design of spokes/lip. Not the original but mesh design like you say.

    Not much cheaper than a set of BBS LM!

    There are some OEM alternatives, the main one being the 2-piece 18" mesh option for the Audi Mk2 TT.

    Tim has them on his Mk5 GTI:
