The BBS wheels never came 4 lug. The saleens came with a similar style wheel, but made by ARE in 4 lug.
It's Gumby's fault.

oh i forgot to mention...if you send these guys your wheels they'll take them and refinish them or even chrome them if you want!  i just ordered some wheels from them about five minutes ago so i'll let you know about their service.

I wish they would have made the 8-holes 7 inches wide instead of the whimpy 5.5.  If they were, I'd definitely have them refinished than keep them for like slicks or something.

well the wheels FINALLY arrived yesterday...although the wait was a little over a month, these things are awesome.  there was a certain lack of communication on the part of the distributor which caused some problems, but in the end i am happy with the product.  the wheels will be mounted on g-forces next week.  i'll update accordingly with pics...
