Recently heard of a JBW 10inch rim that fits over 8.4" brake rotor/calipers.

Anyone have experience with these? Could save a lot of money having to convert my '88 car to run 10 inch...
From their webpage:
"Finally a 10" alloy wheel that allows fitment on 12" (8.4") disc brakes. Will also accept the original Hub cap (Part No-CCCSR)"

Re: JBW 10 Inch Rim on 8.4" Brakes?
There was a similar wheel made a few years ago. They don’t really fit “over” the 8.4” caliper, they have such a low offset that they sit beside the caliper
Compared to a normal cooper S wheel
10x4.5 +35
10x5 -15
The outer lip will be 56mm further out from the guard

Those wheel are shown in this video, externally at 7:30 and from below at 12:30 where you can see the wheels sitting 'beside' the disc and caliper rather than over it. Must give some interesting handling traits!
In the comments it mentions they are JBW wheels.
