I have a set of 16" ACT wheels that look alot like BBS vert rims or TII rims. I would have liked to get a set of the BBS rims but they are hard to find, and I got these for a good price. they came off a 86 base with 4 lug. I will be putting them on my 81 wich has GSL-SE suspention and brakes. I'll take some pics in a while.

I had an issue only with 42mm offset rims... they just rubed the swaybar on tight turns... this was also with ST springs... so... just depends on your offset really.
