BBS wheels for the C7

Looking for BBS wheels for my C7, specifically the FI.

Tirerack and the BBS website list no BBS fitments for the C7.

Didn't the C6R run BBS FIs?

Is there a BBS FI that fits the C7?

Any updates? I would love to see some BBS's on a C7.

Anyone have experience with them on a C6?

Offset is critical on the C7 wheels. I see all the different sizes listed on the web site, but no offset numbers, or specific finishes like if chrome is an option.

The BBS RS-GT are listed under the C6:

18 x 9, 54mm
19 x 10.5, 75mm

The problem is that most wheel buyers are looking for a 9.5" wide front wheel and an 11" wide rear wheel.

Then the Oz Superforgiata:

19 x 8.5, 55mm
20 x 10, 79mm

And so these are even smaller but these are autocross legal in the Street class. However, the better selection of tires is in 18/19 or 19/19 sizes.

For more wheel sources, look at the Forgeline website and the Finspeed website.

The most likely setup:

Front, 9.5" wide wheel, 56mm to 52mm offset, 265 or 275 tire
Rear, 11' wide wheel, 79mm to 73mm offset, 305 tire

Also, there's the Oz Superleggera:

Front, 18 x 9.5 or 19 x 9.5, 59mm, use 3mm spacer, listed under the C5
Rear, 19 x 11 or 20 x 11, 75mm, listed under the C6
