I have already emailed BBS again about these LM wheels. If they build them they must bring them to the US market..
Or at least get enough members here together to buy them !!!

ok, we can get BBS LM 17" 4x100 in the United States
Talked with BBS today.
The bad news is 5 to 6 month special order and even getting a great hook from them the rims are very expensive !!
BBS said they have sent a few sets of these wheels to the US already so don't be surprised if you some people here rolling on them.

why such a narrow tire on such a wide rim? A 215 should be on a 7 inch wheel. I am running 245/35/18's on an 18x8 wheel for my Subaru.

Also, I have friends running 215s on 9" wide wheels.

It's senseless to buy wheels too wide for the car, then explain away a poor tire choice with fitment rationale. Just because the VW'ers have been doing it for years doesn't make it right.
