    Make sure you actually call them, though, as e-mail is far too impersonal and isn't as likely to get you results.
    I emailed them and they called me back. Unfortunately they SCRAPPED all the remaining ESM 002s about a year ago. I was at work and didn't really have time to chat more extensively but I will give them a call back and see if they can assist me in tracking one down.

    Again, my offer stands. Find me a wheel get a finders fee in the form of a Joe G care package.

      While I dont know for certain, I believe ESM 002 wheels are branded as Lenso BSX in Europe.

      Searching Lenso BSX 16x7.5 on google came up with a few european stores that carry them.

      http://www.performancealloys.com/ has them for $234 delivered to US for single wheel

      http://shop.12tune.com/ shows them in stock

      No affiliation with those stores. Those were just some that came up in my search

      Also in your original post you say the wheel is ET15, are you sure they aren't ET25? And if you buy a new wheel I think it is going to come dual drilled, 4x100/4x108

        td325ic,

        Thanks man, I appreciate VERY much you taking some time to help look for the wheels! The set at 12tune.com looks exactly like the wheels I have. The center caps on the performancealloys site are different than the ones I have.

        Unfortunately, I am almost positive that the wheels are ET15. I will try to double check that, but I am afraid the search continues...

          That sucks.

          I looked on craigslist and didn't see anything, and I searched the entire country. Not a common size for that wheel, 16x7.5.

            THANK YOU for taking the time to look. Things are looking grim for just finding one wheel... :(

              I have scoured every corner of CL and used a variety of what I thought were clever searches (BBS RS Rep, BBS RS Replica, E30 16x7.5, 4x100 16x7.5, etc...).

              Thanks for the effort.

                  I have a good record on craigslist scavenger hunts so I figured I would give it a try. Searchtempest, search modifiers, etc. I can usually find pretty much anything, no dice on 16x7.5 002s though, found pretty much every size but that.

                    Does it have to be ET 15? What about ET 20? Also, what colour are you after? Would you be willing to buy a set of four? I know this isn't ideal, but the car owner might be interested given the scarcity of these wheels.

                      Try searching kijiji.ca up here in Canada. It's like Craigslist. I periodically see used esm wheels on there! Good luck.

                        I'll give it a try. My offer still stands if anyone finds a lone wheel for me. I have spent nearly $1000 making this right, and really want to avoid buying a pair of wheels if I can.

                              UPDATE: Joe and I Split the cost on a set of 4 wheels he got a GREAT deal on. Have to say again that Joe was completely on top of making this situation right. What a darn fine gentleman!
