(WTB) Can anyone get me 19"/20? BBS LM-R's for my IS-F?

I've spoken to a premier BBS source who got my NSX LM's for me and he simply told me BBS does not make the LM-R in a 5x114.3 pattern. When I head to Japan on my next biz trip I will talk to a few people there.
I know fake wheels sometimes look ok but when you get up close there really is no substitute.....however for the IS-F I really want the LM-R, not the LM's.
This is the LM's on my NSX in DSK finish:
but I'm leaning more towards the darker custom satin gun-metal finish here:

You may be able to re-drill 5 x 120 to 5 x 114.3. May have to refinish the centers after wards though. Then there's still the offset issue.
Just looked at the BBS Japan site. With a 20mm thick 5x130 to 5x114.3 bolt pattern adapter, you would end up with:
19 x 8.5 35mm offset - front
19 x 11 43mm offset - rear
I'm not sure how much room the IS-F has, but this is probably the easiest way to do this and Tire Rack or Wheel Enhancement probably has them in stock. This guy is local to me and has good rep in making custom adapters / spacers: www.wheeladapter.com

Do you have the link so I can show it to my friend?
aliu603: Yes that is correct - from what I was, told BBS just never made this style of wheel for Japanese bolt patterns, only the BMW. I do NOT want to drill wheels, that seriously affects the safety of the wheel and I won't risk that.
thanks
