The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[pDubs]

Not like the way he's talking. LOL. I thought about trying them out when I get flares. Only thing is it's really stupid considering you'll have like 6 inches of room between the inside of the wheel and the suspension. Might as well run wider wheels and tires at that point of you have the fender room. Wheel bearings won't be very happy.

So has anyone actually run reverse mounted style 5's? I've only seen pictures of them mocked up.

they are all reverse mounted already

MotorSport Hardware + those wheels + those tires make my pp go boing.

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

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

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

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.

[DubzterChris]

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!

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
