Thanks guys! :p
Yes, those are BBS LM Special Color from BBS Japan. They are made to order with custom offset and fitment. You have to go to Japan in person to order them because they do not ship export. The red center cap is to differentiate between ordinary LMs and the special edition ones. I found it pretty neat. Well, we all know Japanese are always known for gimmicks!

Harris, do you live in VancouveR? If so, I saw your car today at the dealership when i was dropping mine off for a service.
If not, there is a exact replica of that car here, with the same BBS LM with the red centercaps and the gunmetal, must be from BBS japan as well.

BBS is a German Company which is home in "Schiltach" thats a small village/town at the Blackforest.
Some of you guys should know "Friedrich Grohe" or "Hans Grohe". these two companys are producing stuff for the Bath or Kitchen.
Hans Grohe is setteld in Schiltach, too. (My father worked at Hans Grohe, so i was often at the BBS Facility when we visited Schiltach)
