Arrow Anyone had classic BBS's on an R32?

So I was contemplating a direction for my R32 and I think with the limited quantity of them in the US I think it would be in good taste do do a classic example of what one may have looked like in 1990. So stock trim all around, classic gunmetal colour and as the title states, a classic set of BBS wheels in the 17" variety such as the RS or the Impul. So if anyone has some pictures or has ever fited a set let me know!
Thanks.

There is something very classy about an R32 with the classic cross-hatch BBS rims....obviously with the gold paint scheme and polished lip .

ok, this one doesnt have polished lip but THIS one.....

yummy.....

TT

Here's an example of the ones im considering for the car.

They are 17"x8 with a Zero offset so i dont think they'll fit right but ive never seen anyone with a zero on an R32, but a good example of what im pondering.

Heres a couple of pictures of my car with 17" BBS. Great wheel, but a b******d to clean. But a great wheel and classic design.
