The car is currently sitting on 16 inch BBS rims with 205/55/16 fronts and 245/50/16 rears.

The previous owner was told that these rims were a factory/dealer option in 1982 and he believes them to be original and therefore just spent a bunch of money having them refinished.

Is this possible? If they are original I suppose I would keep them but I prefer the look of Fuchs.

Also I realize the oem Turbo tail is not stock for an SC and will be removed and posted for sale.

Thanks in advance for any input.
BBS weren't a factory option but it's very possible that they were a dealer supplied item.

The 'Tea Tray' on the car in the pic above was the factory option tail from that era.
