Peer:

I was under the impression that the V8 BBS rims were 16 x 8 inches...

I'm still trying to decide between 16 or 17 inch rims for my wagon, but 
it's hard to give up the light weight forged 15 inch BBS stock rims.  The 
weight difference between the summer tires/BBS rims and my 16 inch steel 
rims/Dunlop Graspics was noticeable when I swapped them!

I do have two things against the stock rims ...they are a major PITA to 
keep clean and there are not alot of tire options...
