There are few wheel designs in the world that have the legendary history and pedigree as the BBS LM that also crosses respectfully across all the different vehicle cultures (JDM, Euro, Domestic, Exotic).  Although BBS as a brand is German and origin, the BBS LM is manufactured in Japan so there is actually a very strong case for BBS being a great fit for the JDM market.  In fact of Lexus community most of the wheels for the F models are OEM and manufactured by BBS for Lexus.

So that’s what we wanted to talk about today is the BBS LM and providing more information about this wheel.  The BBS LM wheel is made of aluminum and is die forged for considerable weight savings and strength.  It comes as a two piece wheel with every face and barrel designed to work with each other as well as the engineering of those combinations checked against their stringent OEM standards.  Every LM is tested for the integrity of its design due to the strict requirements that they have to follow for their

The Mod in Japan titanium intake is intricately pie cut so that the diameter of the piping is never compromised.  To get the proper angle for the intake piping there are 3 choices, pinch bending,  mandrel bending and pie cutting.  Utilizing pinch Bending or Mandrel Bending there will always be a compromise in the diameter of the piping whether that is 1% or 15% that is a compromise.  Pie cutting and welding is extremely labor intensive as each individual angled piece must be cut and hand welded.  But in the pursuit of performance we decided this was the best method.  We combine the best material, titanium, and the most extreme method to create what we believed to be the finest intake on the market.  The OEM Air box is already efficient and prevents heat soak when the car is not in motion so utilizing it is ideal for daily driving situations which means the only other compromise is the bends.  So utilizing the Mod in Japan titanium intake will increase the airflow which yields better throttle
