    identify these bbs wheels, possibly miata?

    hey looking at a set of wheels but wanted some opinions from my fellow r3v members that know more about all things bbs than me.

    the wheels are suposedly from a miata i know miatas had a 15" m edition bbs option but these look a little diffrent to me than the pics ive seen of them but heres the pic of the wheels





    as you can tell from the pic they say 15x6.5 and japan on the backside, and they are suposedly 35mm offset.

    any help in identifying these would be appriciated, looking at them mainly because of the lightweight and 15", i realize they would need hubs drilled out to fit e30's if they are infact miata wheels

    thanks r3v

              as farbin noted, BBS did make wheels in japan.

              the wheels pictured are not BBS though - they do not look like BBS wheels and don't appear to be stamped anywhere.

                Even if they are bbs, they wouldn't fit your e30. Miatas run a small hub bore size (54mm) so you had to run an additional ~5mm non-hub centric spacer
