    Does anyone know of a US BBS dealer who can order custom fitments? The only place I can find that deals BBS, only have stock for Audis, VWs, ect. Im looking to get a set of BBS like these
    http://www.tirerack.com/wheels/DisplayWheel.jsp?wheelMake=BBS&wheelModel=LM&wheelFinish=Bright+Sil+w%2FMach+Lip
    Or If not, I'd like to track down a set of the cross spokes with black centers. The car is a 76 glass 308, and I'd like to go with 16" with standard widths. Can someone help me out, I searched but found nothing on these wheels. I check EBay everyday.
    I also looked at Kinesis, they make a wheel similar looking to the BBS, but they don't make 16" wheels, and the cost of 17" they quoted me was nearly $5K.

    I have four of the 'period correct' cross spoke BBs 16" wheels. Spun aluminum 3 piece with gold centers, from my 1977 308GTB

    That new pattern is nice but don;t know if they make fitment...have you searched for enjoythemusic's Kinesis wheels?

    There was recent thread on 308 aftermarket fitments....not easy!

    Volvo and I believe Audi have a 5X108MM bolt circle which is the same as the 308's. So all you need to do is get the right off-set and get some spacers and you can fit a lot of different wheels. Enjoy the ride

    5x108 So is my Jaguar X Type. But as I've found out already, nothing fits that right either. I ended up doing the stock wheels in black chrome by Capella. I'm only going to buy an original style wheel made for this car.

    Audi is 5x112 unless you're talking about the Golf-based TT and A3. Those are 5x100. No 5x108 for Audi....
