The BBS RC 090/BMW Style 5 wheels thread

[samsam]

funny i was just looking into widen style5s and i realized the sarto racing e36/rocket bunny is actually rocking reverse style5's.

look at the rear lip, its exactly the same. looks like they drilled a hole for a valve stem on the back lip and probably welded the front valve stem hole up.

I think these are RS's wheel bolts sit too proud to be a style 5 centre.

I know a lot of people use rs bolts and say that it works fine. As for the real drill idk

I was under the impression that the RS bolts aren't spline'd on the ends?

Has anyone had material shaved off to increase offset? Looking to gain up to 5mm but I'm not sure how much we could safely shave.

They aren't. A lot of people still run them and as long as you have them all torqued to spec it should be perfectly safe.

Any info on those retro motorsport roundels? Style 5s fit anything from 68-71mm emblems apparently. I'm thinking about picking up some unique center cap emblems.

i think those are actually enkei's. enkei specially makes mesh wheels for rocket bunny. definitely not reverse mounted style 5's though

Mine? I don't know anything about them, the previous owner had sourced them from somewhere. I don't even know what to price them at to be honest.

I've looked into it. My research has led me to the conlusion that it totally depends on the wheel.
