Do they come in 4 lug or are you going to have to convert to 5 lug?

And as Kalbone said, what size, and how much?

Thanks guys, for those who pm'ed me as well: This is my contact in Japan, his email to me:

"Hello !!

This is Mr. Sakamoto,
Thank you for calling to our company
I search the BBS rims price

BBS LM-DBK
17×7.5 offset 40 PCD100

PRICE ?308,700-(approx 2837 usd)
When you want this product please send me the answer quickly
Because we have to order to BBS!!"

I have ordered parts from them before, like the squarecraft mirrors and some japanese tailights, these guys ship promptly and have no doubts about the service. I have to confirm if pricing includes shipping and duties/taxes.
I did not see the LM DBK in the us site so im not sure if their available here locally.

Yes sir it is going on this car, i have since taken off these aftermarket bumpers, went back to stock height and aero kit:




I will have to wait for the wheels to see what I will do next.
Chrismcs40 : 17" x 7.5" will only be the size available. If your serious pm me and we can talk.
