    need a photo the back of the wheel before I could even geuss,. ring up any tyre/rim place (tempe tyres maybe) and they should be able to tell you the offset.

    More IMportantly though, you have BBS's why would you want commy rims for?? I'm not sure they'd work (lookswise)

        They would definitely look cool. Some of the older Holden/Ford wheels actually look OK, with low profile tyres and a good polish.
        Past: Mk3 Golf 2L 8V, Audi 8L A3T.
        Present: Mk3 Golf variant.

          it can be done but depends whether theres room on the rim to do it.

          if its a 4 stud, then theres room to redrill an extra 4 studed pattern. shouldnt cost that much either, $20 a rim or so.

          i owned a multistuded wheel before, tyre place drilled it wrong then redrilled to suit.

          example:


          looks like the 5 studed pattern cant be done, no room.

            yes... those are the wheels im gonna try it on
            throw a 165/50 R15 on them.....

            my plan is to paint the inner grooves black and polish the tops

                    the BBS's are cool... but no one will have the calais wheels on a mk1 hehe
                    plus it will just be for laughs and trial and error

                      I know selling blank wheels is illegal... But if u talk to your tyre center nicley they may be able to get some blank un-drilled wheels!

                          you wont find a blank Calais wheel. too old and it will be discontinued even if it was being made.

                          Get the wheels made to suit the stud pattern you have Or change the pattern on the car to suit or just find another rim with a 4 studed pattern and then have it redrilled to suit your own car. mitsubishi or ford should have 4 studers, cortinas, etc

                            When i talk blanks its rims that have not been drilled at all... If u talk to some good wheels shops they can get blanks but u have to be good mates...

                            A friend of ours got a heap of Merc blanks cheap as chips...

                            Wabit go around and pull soem string, u might be in luck
