Default aftermarket wheels for my 1986 740 turbo?

could anybody tell me where I can find 17 or 18 inch spoked wheels that will fit my car, also does the lug pattern/size match any japanese cars that could possibly have a wider selection of wheels?

Pickings are slim unless you use spacers to fit FWD offset wheels.

Bolt pattern is 5X108, offset is 20 ET (+/- a little) stock. With some 25mm spacers you can fit modern FWD style Volvo wheels, as well as jaguar S type, Lincoln LS, various other Fords. It's not a really common bolt pattern though.

Get spacers for FWD wheels, then go look for wheels that fit 850's.

287USD, shipped, last i checked, from Dale (245gti)

wheeladapter.com (might be wheeladapters.com) has them for a similar price as well, just make sure that no matter what, you get hubcentric and lugcentric spacer/adapters. much more safe
