The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[Randall Alexander]

Still can't get those bolts out..

What I did was took a pry bar, and bent them in towards the center a little bit. When I say little I mean little. Just enough to loosen them. Then one or two good taps with a punch and hammer, theyll fall right out.

At first I tried hitting them with just a hammer, didn't work very well. Banged up the back lip and the bolts.

Next I tried to punch them out with a punch and hammer. Get a 5 or 6 good hits in and they come out. I mostly just hit my fingers. Or the punch jumped off the edge of the bolt.

Then I realized if I angled the punch they came out easier. And after a few successes I realized what was happening. The bolts were tilting in the hole and that made them come out easier.

So that's when I figured out the pry bar trick. But that's only if you AREN'T going to reuse the stock bolts. (I purchased 120 chrome RS bolts) Because the pressure of the pry bar may f-up the threads and you really dont want to have to use a die to clean up the threads on 120 bolts.

when i removed mine i laid the wheel down, took a 3/8" extension, 6" long and placed the female end over the threaded section of the bolt and knocked them out...worked like a charm! no damage to any bolts either

thread nut on a turn or so, take socket and extention and hammer them out from back side. They are splined, so they are in there very tightly

Thanks a lot I finally got it to work, not all but close, then I can finally get to polishing!

Got new adapters since, putting me at 18x9 et10 front and et0 rear

New shots from SoWo hopefully

That would be a very good guess lol. I'm trying to get 33's for the back and 37's for up front before SoWo

SoWo eh? Where you staying? I'll be there myself.

Does anyone know what the actual center of the wheel is? its not steel.

Style 5's NOT on a bimmer: (my car)
















car is currently under the knife with a "make it or break it" situation. If everything turns out well, then i'm repainting the centers white.
