so im a huge noob to bbs's.....but i just picked up a set of style 5's.....are there any options for new center caps, or are we stuck with the plastic ones?
also, what have people done in regards to replacing bolts? can you use bolts from RMs or RSs?

cheers!
as for different styles:
e38 basket weave caps fit
e34 mesh caps fit (what i have)
e36 15'' mesh wheel caps fit
probly many more but all these are plastic
as for rs bolts, ive heard people use them and others say they are not safe to run on style 5's. Theres a small difference in them, style 5 bolts are splined and rs' arent iirc...couldnt swear to it tho. Black forest industries carries them in all finishes for like 1$ a bolt

thanks man, i appreciate the help....has anyone ever got real RS centers to fit on style 5s? or are they a completely different size?
sorry for the 20 questions...but i want to powder coat my centers white, but not sure how to get the caps to match....???????
If your powdercoater is knowledgeable and experienced then he can hot flock them to pc them. Otherwise you can try going to a bodyshop to get them color matched.
