They look like the wheels from a friend's VW Sirocco...from many years back.

Apparently they were not officially imported into the states. However, a quick search shows a set that were sold on TheSamba for $175/set. I would place Wanted to Buy ads in the VW forums and troll Ebay. They are around.

Speaking of rare BBS wheels.....

Those also look like the 14x6 BBS miata wheels. What bolt pattern and offset is he looking for? If it's 4x100(not sure of the offset) then look at the miata salvage yards.
