15" to 16" BBS conversion?

I have some 15" BBS pattern centers. Wondering if there are 16" barrels that will bolt to the 15" centers.

I recently did this with some HRE wheels that I bought in the '90s (went from 16" to 17"). I called HRE and come to find out they had a skid out in the warehouse with some wheel halves left over, so I was able to find some that met my width/offset needs. Even after all these years, HRE was very fond of the wheel halves if the price they charged me was any indication.

yes you can get 16 and 17 barrels for 20 bold E50 BBS centers.

Im looking to go 15's. if you do find some 16s i would be interested in yours if they are the correct width and offset.
