what hubs/ suspension are you running?
I've got some in 16" that are being refurbed, but they are m3 fitment. i.e 5 stud. 7.5x16 and 8.5 x16 et 30 IIRC.

They are actually a lot cheaper in Ford fitment as they never gained the huge following they have with the BMW boys. They are quite popular with the 3 door Cosworth boys but you'll still find a set in Ford fitment for £600 or so.

Ebay.de is a good place to start.

Yes i have got a few ill upload them when i get a chance, we've basically used the sierra 4x4 running gear inc rear beam, front crossmembers and hubs and struts, i need to cut a sierra gearbox tunnel out to weld that in so all mounts and holes line up and she's done.
