One of the things they mention on the pro-touring forum is that the BMW metric bolt pattern is extremely close to the 5 x 4.75 bolt pattern of chevy.....so close you can use BMW wheels.

yes, like I said..120mm for bimmers and 120.65 for us (4.75 converted to metric) but ALL BMW wheels are designed for hubcentricitu, there are several sizes hubcentric rings out there but as far as I know, not one of them fits the stock spindle properly. The best way would be to have a set of rings milled to fit, the wheels differ in hubcentric ring sizes but all are 45 degree tapers.

Funny you should say that. I have those wheels, BBS CH in 19x8 and 19x10 on my M3!
Sorry, I don't have a single picture of my car not moving
Here's me on street tires after I corded my track tires, hence driving on the street wheels, but at least you can see them.
I love these wheels, and when I saw the CH for the Vette I was very excited. I have yet to actually see a set on a C3.

El Cid:

I've seen a lot worse than these rims. While I prefer stock ralley's, go with what you like.

Best,
