any one know where i can find a set of replica 87 wheels in 18" size, searched, but couldnt find anything. they used to be on aaarims.com
but the website is no longer there. but brings up lakeshore wheels. i dont think they fit over my brakes, but would like to know if they are still available.

I bought the 18" style 87 for my 4.8is from aaarims and they changed the name to Wheels, Rims, Tires:Car Wheels, chrome wheels:Lakeshore Wheel and Tire:Custom Wheels, Factory Wheels, Replica Rims after that. If they fit 4.8is brakes they should fit 4.4. I have the pic of my car under wheels section of X5 tips.

I changed my brakes to the 4.8is and read on another forum that the replica 18's don't fit. Do you know the et? Of the wheels?

Well they do fit and I have been using them for 4 winters.
Check pics here. Pics are before spacers.

Back then there were at least 3 to 4 vendors selling them. I was not the only one who bought them. I am sure if you look around, you will find or I will have mine available if you wait.
