The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[dev]

Joining BBS RC fanclub sorry for low quality, later will be better! Setup: 205/40 front and rear, BBS RC 090 8j ET20, FK AK coilovers, rear maxed out, front still can go way lower, too bad i cant do it because roads here are just terrible, NO spacers, very happy with the setup

I've made a BBS RC or Style 5 configurator for E30 M3, cause I finally got a second set of BBS as the one I'm using now and I'm not sure of how to paint them, i have made it usign photoshop so you will need photoshop to use it, hope that you like it:

my questions to you guys who retain the style 5 centercap... where the hell do u get the BBS center cap/emblem from??

I've searched everywhere and can't ever never find the correct size

70mm style b and you have to cut off the tabs and glue it in place because there are none made specifically for these wheels
You can get them at purems.com or blackforestindustries.com

" And one question, do you use any product to protect the lips to avoid the loosing of the polish finish??? "

On damn lol okay gotcha, but how much do the new 3"lip cost? Any idea? Or any links?

Black forest industries sells lips

These wheels are two piece, barrel and lip is one and face is the other, compared to three piece where lip barrel and face all come apart. You could get a shop to cut them off and reweld new lips but not gonna be cheap.
Try to see if a shop can repair the imperfections you currently have.
