The guy had got some for his CX, the company was remaking them in sensible sizes and getting them type approved. That's FraBu Classic in Switzerland. The fella sank his own time and money into producing a 16" (and only this size) replica of the Turbo metric alloy. The overall diameter is slightly increased, I think.

I have given up looking and concluded you simply can't, not at any price. On the continent having the 'original' homologated tyre size is often an MOT requirement so i thought they might remain in low-volume availability over there long after everyone in the UK had swapped to imperial rims, (I remember dear departed Davenumbers battling with this issue actually) but I can't find anyone selling them anywhere. That would really piss me off big time if I had a nice D-reg Metro City X in clove brown and I could not put the original wheels and tyres on it even if I was ready to throw money at the problem. (Luckily I haven't got one so its not wrecking my sleep patterns just now) I don't know where he found them but my g/f's old man bought a set of metric Dunlops for his e34 520. The set cost him £1000. I could have found him a set of near enough 15" or 16" BBS rims and tyres for probably half that if I had known he needed them.

Only FraBu went to the lengths of applying for TüV approval for that single wheel design, as far as I'm aware. It took ages, as the German requirements are exhaustive. The result is a wheel that is almost indistinguishable from the original metric, but which can have much cheaper tyres, so all those CX Turbos currently running on Alfa alloys can return to something that looks the part.
