I've only seen e88's in 5 lug. The Viper equivalent is the lm series wheel. Main difference being the e88 is more convex than the lm but imo the concave/dish style wheels suit our cars better.

I attached a pic of the lm's on my 2k gts before installing spring caps.

What are the ACR BBS LM wheels going for these days? I still have my set but have been keeping them with my ACR so far.

Thanks and no problem. I can tell you what I think I know and one of the other members can gut check me. I've got the 18x10 18x13 setup which is pretty typical from when I see them for sale. I've seen people say they have 18x11 fronts fyi. They're gen 1 offset, which I don't know off the top of my head so they poke inward more than most hellaflush bros might like.

So real quick:
18x10 18x13
295 R888R front/335 R888 rear tires
3/8 spacer in all 4 corners
Long neck lug nuts
Spring caps

They poke out a bit and I've been really happy with this setups handling , especially for an 18 year old car. Watch out for Jon B. I was gauging interest on a 200tw tire for autocross and I ended up with everything from the wheels down in that list above!

Boost, I don't see them pop up in our lug pattern often but if I had to guess, probably around 2.5-3k maybe more with a good tire attached to them?

Boost I like those more than your Forgestars, and those are nice too. Are you using coil overs or springs?

I'm on BC Racing coilovers. That picture isn't mine but is my identical car. I wouldn't be surprised if it is actually my car though from a previous owner. Not too many of these red/silver ACR let alone in CA as well...

Would be interested to find out if anyone recognizes the plate and know this car/owner?

LM's are nice but nothing beats the OEM BBS one piece wheel. Not just looks but weight wise. They are timeless.

I was told that the OEM BBS are the LS series BBS wheels.

I have had my BBS LMs for ~15 years, still love them. The last set of tires I had on them were Nitto 555Rs 285/345. A few years ago I wanted to update and freshen up my GenII, so I put a set of OEM Venoms on. Boosted, I follow you on YouTube; thanks for all the great vids...your Viper looks amazing as well. BTW keep the OEM BBS wheels.

Thanks for the support!

You have the 3 piece BBS LM wheels right? I like the offset on your wheels and the dish better. Also are they polished? Looks great with both wheels you have!

Yes Boosted, 3-piece BBS LMs, and have a polished look. Straight bolt on too, no spacers needed and no offset. Please keep up the great work on youtube, it's really helpful to the Viper community.

All, if anyone is interested in selling your BBS LMs let me know. There is a Viper owner who would really like a set. Thanks.

Not sure I've ever heard of the LS series?

Not to sidetrack this thread, but since we are talking BBS, the ACR wheels are made in Japan. They are a one piece forging.

I can't say if it's accurate or true, just what another Viper owner told me.
He said that the 3 piece bolt together BBS are LM and the one piece cast ACR wheels were LS style.
