BBS RK fitments for Z3 (archive)

Hi TireRack guys,

I've got a '99 Z3 2.8 Coupe with the standard 16x7 double spoke (Style 47) alloys and 225/50/16s all around.

I'm thinking of getting a 2nd set of wheels for autox. I'm currently running in street tire class, and was considering buying a used set of factory radial spoke 17" wheels, but they are hard to find and rather heavy from what I've heard. I absolutely love the look of the BBS RK on the coupe, but unfortunately I need to keep my car in stock class so I'd need 17x7.5 in front and 17x8.5 in back (same as factory option) and it doesn't look like the RK comes in 17x7.5. It looks like the RC comes in those sizes but is a bit pricey and I don't like the look as much. So my new plan is to get Kumho V700s on 16" wheels, since the sidewalls should be very stiff and the wheels nice and light.

So I have seen other places listing the RK in 16x7, but it doesn't show up on the wheel rack for my car (only 16x7.5). Is this size available from you in the correct drilling and offset for my car? And do you have any idea what the stock offset on my rims is? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

BTW I'm very happy with the Bridgestone RE71s I got from TireRack

Thanks,
Peter T
