BMW does have the same lug pattern. But, there's obviously more to it. Like the bore size, and whether or not the calipers clear the spokes. Offsets are slightly less, but vaires. If they did fit, they'd probably stick out 1/2" more than stock.. which is a good thing.


[edit] bmw is 5x120, vette is 5x120.6

Jaguar XK, XJ is 5x120.6

.6 millimeters is pretty damn small.. works out to .3mm radial difference. Not sure if this is bad or not?

It is allot easier to find BMW rims in Sweden than it is to find Vette rims.

But don't do it Devilfish! It doesn't look good. Save up for AR or Fikse instead.

I don't know where to find them. But if you look in the new issue of Bilsport you will find a C4 from Norway with Fikse. Talk to that guy (and then tell me where to find them :D

It is possible that a friend of mine is going to sell his Antera 18" wheels.
