Ah crap! For you phone dial 4 lug guys

So I've been seeking the perfect wheel for a while now. I've got the freaking 4 lug phone dials and have always had a thing for the BBS mesh convertible wheels. But I thought BBS only made 4 lug wheels in the 4 x100 bolt pattern you find on the 80's BMW 325 series.

It turns out I was wrong. There is an extremely rare BBS 4 x114 wheel in that matches the style of the verts and it is on sale on ebay right now. I've never seen them before and don't expect to see them again, but I'm putting my money into an old spitfire right now. And I decided to upgrade to a 5 lug and get the actual convertible wheels.

So this is a heads up to the phone dial guys. Some guy wants to put this on a Nissan and that would be a shame.

I've always had a thing for BBS wheels too. I actually picked up a set of 14" Gold 4-lug meshies last year thinking they'd fit, but it turns out the guy didn't know how to use a tape measure and they were 4x108. I've been trying to get rid of them ever since. (see link in sig.)

unek, that was part of my thinking as well. The only reason the size may have been good was that then I didn't have to buy new tires.
