The BX inlay is about 8mmx5mm. I've got someone working on making up lengths of the trim in both black and red, its actually what his company does. The problem has been getting the tool made up for a reasonable cost, once that's done actually producing lengths is silly cheap. I wouldn't bank on it happening any time soon though.

17's I would bet. Think they look awful TBH.
Can't think of many aftermarket wheels that work on the BX. God knows I've tried! Possibly something BBS style, but so many wheels of the BXs era look shit I just stick with the originals. I actually like the SL311 now
I don't like the wheels, it's not natural for brake discs to be all exposed and nekkid like that
Not nearly enough 'meat' between the hub and the rim - they're just going to buckle as soon as anyone gets serious ragging it. So many people make the same mistake with Granadas by putting fancy looking alloys on and then wondering why it wobbles after a while.
I felt oddly depressed looking at those Christmas trees. It was 'New Coconut Christmas Decoration Tree (S704)' that finally did it; the fact that some one would pay money for it and walk home thinking, 'I'm happier now I've got this tree'.
