I think you're out of luck. It looks like BBS don't make any RG-Rs with a 4x100 bolt pattern in anything other than 17", see here;

This data could be out-of-date, I suppose. Alex will give you a definitive answer. If they don't make 'em, he can't customer order.

Alex, do you know if or when the 17" RG-R (Diamond Black) or alternately the 16" RG-F might go on sale? I am thinking about buying a set to have by next spring.

If you're lowered and/or want to run wider than stock tyres, then the 16x7" RG-F might cause you rubbing problems because of the aggresive offset (ET35)...reason I didn't buy them.

They do sell 15x7" RG-Fs with an ET42 offset which is a much more appropriate offset. Alex could give you the low-down on fitment issues.

I love the RG-F, probably my favourite rim
