Why didn't you go with the +40 and get a little wider stance? Do you have any pics?

Not the best pictures in the world. I will be installing the H-Sport springs next month and adding a BBK.
A friend of mine is running the same setup and is running the Willwood BBK without having to use any spacers. Currently, there is probably a tad less than an inch clearance between the back of the spokes and the calipers.

This is the info I got back from a Rota dealer:
SLIPSTREAM 16 x 6.5 +45 4X100 56.1mm
SLIPSTREAM 16 x 7.0 +45 4X100 67.1mm
SLIPSTREAM 16 x 7.0 +40 4X100 67.1mm
Seems the correct bore is only available in the 6.5" wide wheel through this dealer. Where did you guys the 56.1mm hub bore in a 7" wide wheel? This guy says that Rota doesn't have that size available.

Do you have pics? I'd like to see the +40's on the car. Also, what kind of suspension are you running, and do you have a BBK?
Yeah, I've never been into the BMW M3 e36 look...now e46, that's a different story. I've just always liked the wheels flush with the corners. Functionally, it seems more stable and in my opinion it just looks better. (visions of a mkIV GTi with 18" BBS LM's at each corner comes to mind...)

I'm selling my wheels and tires if you're interested. They are 17's though, so If you're interested lemme know. asking for $1000 ( I paid $1500)
Rims are flawless (no scrathes or bends) and Tires are 215/45/17 Yokohama AVS sport tires. I've only put about 4000 miles on them, so they're in brand new condition.
PS: The car is up for sale too if anyone is interested. asking for 22K
