ive looked into widenin the barrels. and ive read that some places they charge 150-250 for each wheel, i would just do the 2 back ones. from 8 inch to 10 inch, they cut the barrel and add a 2 inch strip not on the lip side, but behind the center..
and about memory fab making the style 5s a 3 piece, theyre cra..lol
they quoted me 500 for each wheel plus 80 each center to be machined, so they fit. and i dont thing that was including the centers, so you have to get those yourself.

car looks nice, hows the ride with those new spacers?

i love it! good work sir. i just pick up a e39 myself, im going the same direction, all m5 cosmetics and dumped

god damn it's sweet! but i keep thinking, what happens if you hit one of those ginourmous potholes?

Wildfires..

Actually it's really cheap just to widen them. I've known a couple of people that have sent these guys their wheels to widen them.

Places such as Memory Fab can convert your style 5's (yes they can do that now) to a 3 piece wheel set to any spec and size you want for one flat rate. You'll have to give them a call to find out how much exactly cause I don't know exactly.

I'm sure Rotiform can do it too but i'm sure they're more expensive than the others.

Interesting! Thanks for the info, i will be looking into this

Yes these are 2 piece..the barrel is one piece and the spokes Are another piece, from what i have seen, widening them requires cutting the outter lip off and re-welding a wider barrel to it, or something alone these terms, quite expensive i would think

I don't think you can widen the barrels on the 17s since their 2 piece and if I'm not mistake, the face is attached to the barrel.

Thanks guys^

And haha nice...this once precious bmw has left its comfort zone haha

And widening the barrels would cost more than just getting different rims wouldnt it?

Just sit back for a moment and think about this...In the early 2000s, a person who was making some solid money bought this car and drove it to a job, in a suit with a briefcase. Now in 2013 here is that same car ripping up reflectors. How freakin awesome is that?! Car looks great dude!

looks good. ever thought of widening the barrels? im looking into it.

looks way cooler after you put spacer on! good job man!

[Chapman]

Nice car man, like the black roof against the white body. Keep it up

[BrysonB]

Damn that looks nice! Makes me think I need to be around -15ish on my 8.5" wide wheels. Makes those 17s look a ton better man!

Thanks! Yeah those spacers made all the difference!

SO MUCH BETTER!

Great work man, say goodbye to front wheel bearings though lol

Haha thanks man, im sure the bearing carnage will follow
