The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

Also have some curb rash from the previous owner... Just some good elbow grease and 150/200 grit ? Then 500,600,2000,2500 and 3000? Want a nice polished lip finish but gotta get the rash out first.. Thanks!

I used a paint stripper called Jasco. Its comes as a gel and you apply with a paint brush. A couple of passes with that and all of the clear coat was gone. And I'd recommend going past 2k grit and using 2500 then 3000

Yeah, I was told about Jasco, going to grab some soon. I'm busy doing a motor swap right now but having the clear chemically stripped will really speed things up and actually motivate me to get at finishing the wheels. I may as well keep going with the finer grits if it will make a difference. Wanna do the polishing once then just maintain it and keep it clean. Do not want to go through all this and end up wishing I had done it better.

Anyone have any suggestions on getting 2 stripped nuts off ? Forgot to spray them before I started taking the nuts off and 2 stripped 😔.. My only thoughts are to drill them out

I would personally go at them with a cutoff wheel on a dremel. Small enough to be precise and not get into anything you don't want it to but if you get a decent one it should be good enough to cut through it.

I've been smoothing light rash with 220, when I do my M-Systems I'm going to need something more abrasive as they are curbed pretty badly in some spots.

Alright, thank you.. Will take 220 to it first and see how that goes.

Might try heating the bolt and using a vise grip or something before I try any cutting/drilling

No custom barrels yet?

Sup fellas.. Glad to see this thread is still going hard and proud with some sick projects on here.. Had them, Loved them, Had to sell em' But after a while am thinking about them now and will possibly (most likely) get them again..

But I cant believe that with all the commotion/over popularity of this wheel there is yet anyone reproducing the wider/narrower barrels?

really do we have to spend hours on the net "hoping" to find a set for sale? then after you find it and your like only to read: SOLD

So far this is ALL I got:

* On ecstuning you can buy the 17x9 at $471 a piece.
* Anyone got dealer quotes?? if they stilll sell them anywho.

Lil too much maybe? considering thats what the whole set costs!

[DubzterChris]

oh yeah fore i forget..

Those 3 piece Style 5s >>> are full of Win period.. Keep building them haha

Except I like the unique style of the 1 piece barrel/lip combo that makes it look so different.

All that work and then the wife was like nope, so they've been repainted and are for sale

Took me about 5 weeks to refinish but looks perfect on my '71 BMW E9.

Pretty. I need to get on mine. I've had them apart and ready for polish and powdercoat for like 2 months now and they haven't budged. haha
