The Birth of an Icon
The BBS LM (Leichtmetall = light metal) debuted in 1983 and became the benchmark for multi-piece alloy wheels. Originally designed for motorsport, it quickly conquered the street.
LM Design Evolution
First Generation (1983-1992)
Classic 10-spoke design with genuine chrome lips. The wheel that defined an era of German performance.
Second Generation (1992-2002)
Improved airflow, stronger construction, introduced polished and black finishes.
Third Generation (2002-Present)
Modern flow-forming, additional finishes, still built with original tooling.
Technical Excellence
Three-Piece Construction
The LM features a center piece bolted to inner and outer rim lips - allowing precise fitment customization.

True chrome uses electroplating over chrome nickel. Stainless steel (SS) center offers similar looks with added strength.
