   4x108 fitment aint made anymore
   you can search and search for them, if you want a mint set... get 4x108 to 4x100 adaptors and buy a new set.
   
   luckly i got a set in 4x108 but it took me 4month of searching and gettin em from germany! well worth it in my opinion, love em!

    I am buying a set in the summer I think 16s with a nice tyre stretch. Arch work may be required to fit them mind they are 7.5J or even 8J I think. Were fitted to a saxo initally. But PCD 108 and ET18. Perfect
