The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[Dani]

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

+1 on me!

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.

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

Split them finally


Then it snowed


No more paint

Neither of those fit directly onto RC. You need to cut the clips away. If you don't want to cut those clips, you need caps like these.

Awesome thanks! I finally got my set re-drilled and now working on splitting them.
I got the nuts of the back but the bolts were painted along with the lip and now they won't come out since they have paint all over them!

I'm trying to keep the face the same color so I'll see what I can do, any suggestions would be appriciated

Half way through the refinishing process

I know the size but there are two cap styles with that size.

Which bbs center cap do you guys get to fit? I know the have them on purems.com but they have three different styles and I'm not sure which ones I need.

[Byron]

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

[Khalil]

Based on the shadows in your wheel wells I'd say huge

[Byron]

Yup, 18x9 all around. I'm only going to post side shots so you can't tell how badly they need spacers
