Default 17 Inch BBS Wheels

Does anybody know if BBS ever made 17 inch mesh center wheels for the 92-96 Vettes? I have found 16 inch BBS wheels for the earlier C4's ususally in black or silver, and unfortunately for me they will not fit on my car due to brake modifications.
Thank you!

This is the legendary BBS RS wheel (post#6). They were never made for C4's. But BMW wheels can be found quite close in C4 offset and can often be used in late C4's. The bolt pattern is not 100% same but its so close it fits (Vette: 5x4.75 ie. 5x120.65mm and most common BMW bolt pattern: 5x4.72 ie. 5x120mm).

Ps. I too have a set of RS's but in 16x8.5 size.
