wayne, your wrong this time, ok!

Yes he is. 

Sawblades have a curved spoke, the salad shooters are straight.

Right so these are not sawblades (I guess I was wrong) however why do so many people call them sawblades, seems strange and to me, is that where the confusion comes from. :huh:

Tell me more about these...I have good access to cheap US car parts.

Do these need adaptors? If so, where from?

Do they need spacers if the cars lowered?

They are either FE1 or Z51 wheels off an early Corvette C4. 16X8.5J ET32 and are 5x120.

i've read somewhere that they are 5x120.6. Odd size? I expect adaptors will be hard to get hold of.

Couldn't you use BMW adaptors (5x120) and wobble bolts?

I think that is what people do or use custom adaptors, same as fitting Jaguar wheels.
