BBS LM Wheels:
They look like 17" wheels even though they are 18"
Easy to clean
The finish i believe is more of a gun metal type

BBS ACR Wheels:
They look like a 19" wheel due to its design. i have seen 19" wheels that look smaller then my 18" ACR wheels.
A Bit#h to clean, they get dirty fast.
Has a lighter finish to it, a light silver.

joesviper,

I have the LMs for street driving.

LM Pros
Cost: $4000 per set
2 piece design: If you bend the rim, you don't need to replace the center section
Strength: forged
Polished looks good - in my opinion

LM Cons
Smaller center section due to flange for rim bolts
Weight disadvantage over one ACRs? - not sure

ACR Pros
Larger viewing area through wheel vs. LMs

ACR Cons
Cost: $8000 per set (dealer, you can probably get a lot cheaper)
1 piece design: If you bend one, game over
Strength: Not sure if forged or as strong as LMs

They are both are a lot of work to keep clean.
You can't go wrong either way.

Regards,
