I was told by the BBS main distributer that they do not make any wheels in a 4 stud Ford pattern.

I think the road version are called BBS Le Mans - the distributor is motorsport wheels on 0845 6039245 but hope you have deep pockets - let us know how you get on with the price as I would be interested as well.

As Phil says above, you can get a conversion done from 4 to 5 stud or change PCD. There are plently of 2nd hand BBS in Japan.
