It was a bit tough to get the BBS Caps to sit flush, and right now I am working on the chrome caps so it should elevate it another level. Personally I love the spiked bolts, havent seen anyone else do it. People walk up to the car...say nice wheels, look close and then smile when they see all those bolts are spikes...just subtle flair.

    With that being said they are zero offset (spacers added) and I plan on widening them to 10" in the rear when the car is supercharged, so a stretched 235or 245 will be nice....and I dont think I have seen style 5's widened.

    I do like the mesh style caps for the 16's but do they fit the 17" wheel?
    yes the 16'' mesh caps fit, im running them off of 15'' e34 style 5's (also i painted the hex cap silver like the rs'), yours looks awesome man, look foreward to a pm soon , i have a question

    They are fitted to a 17" wheel in his picture

    And your words were 'style 5s never looked better', maybe not the best online, but never looked better also implies the best around. So just giving my thoughts on those. I'll be running ET0 on my fronts this week which are the same as 5s really, ET4 on the back, but that is with a 9J rear.

    How are you widening them?

    That aside, they do look nice, they look as good as every other style 5 on an E36, a safe winner.
