HELP... Style 5`s

[Will™]

///BMW.. how those bolts come off... hit hard or how..?? i opened my screws the other side and try to hit the bolts off.. but they dont move..??

I read that the centres of these can be almost impossible to get out. I`ve heard of a few people on wheel whores, who`ve used a block of wood to spread the load and then use a mallet to bash them out.

If you have to destroy the bolts to get them out, there`s a guy on driftworks who sells a STAINLESS bolt kit for style 5`s that have round heads on them which have a lower profile to the BBS ones and it makes them easier to polish the lips when rebuilt, they wont corrode and they`re half the price too.

Boom! These wheels, your car.

...........you mean the same as this


took me ages to find this amongst all my pics on photobucket but I think the gold does look nice with red.

how do you guys color the caps?
do you just pull them apart and spray paint them?
if so is there a particular type/brand of spray paint to use?
does it rub off as soon as you put the tool on them to remove the caps?

Hmmm I might pick up style 5's this week. My dad has an E36 that looks just like this but with stock bumper.

Decisions, decisions...

white centers!!!

THIS!

Or try painting the centers black then polishing just the very front part of the face, hard to explain what I mean.

Edit. Like this.

I was thinking same as above. This one looks different though from another angle. May be same wheel.

Excuse the shitty Photoshop, I'm still learning/teaching myself.

it is not so difficult to remove the center, you just need a big hammer and som wood

bolts may take some time

lucky you. i had my 300+ lb uncle try to stomp the faceoff my style 19 (same exact design. just different face) and we had no luck. i had to torch them off.

my wheels were almost as new, so it may have something to say.

condition wouldnt effect anything. whether the owner kept them fresh or let them get destroyed the sealant on the back would still be the same.

what should I do with my center caps if I do this.
they are plastic
