Found these on ebay yesterday if anybody is interested.
I have a set of these in 17s on my 7 series beamer, great wheels but I don't want another set the same coz that would be a bit gay,
otherwise I would have bought them rather than tell you guys. :wink:
ITEM No. 160228633471 (sorry can't work out how to post link)
Anyway hope this might help someone out.

They're saying they fit cordia but are quoting 20mm offset :wtf:

Cut and paste the web address http:://.......... from the bar at the top of the screen. That's enough to post links.
To type them in, type www.etc.etc. , hilight what you typed and use the URL button

205 mm is tread width not rim width Suggest you get a tyre spec booklet ASAP and it will give all the data re the correct min & max rim width for different tyres

should be able to fit around 235s on a 6.5inch rim, that way you can still run 205s on the front without looking dicky.
In my opinion this looks a lot better than fitting 8s and running 205s on the front I much prefer some nice tyre bulge than huge rims with skinny tyres to clear struts and the like.

NS, they'd only fit a front drive by the look of the pic that Al whacked up.

And Kiwi_Ex, good doc you dug up mate.
