I think the real question here is:

why would you want them to fit?

I know you are, but there a bit dere, and ideally i need something 16" as my car is sooo foooking low it needs big ones to lift it up!

How much are you looking for?

bigger rims will not lift your car up.. :? unless you run the wrong size tyres?? what wheels are on it at the mo?

and they are cheaper than a set of these turds! two of these is £80 and my BBS are a fookin steal! if you changed them later on you could make a profit! someone offered me £100 for the centrecaps alone.. http://www.e30zone.net/modules.php?name ... c&t=215882

I would stick with a set of BBS.. Tom_Maverick's are a good buy. But each to their own, so fair play if you stick to your guns...
