The Official Style 5s thread

Sneaky · 07-09-2008, 12:16 PM

These are my new fav rims along with RS-GT, RGR's, and LMs.

Post pics of cars on Style 5s. These will be my next set if I can find some. How does one go about fitting them on a 3 Series? I thought they only come in lower off sets?

Do they make any that fit directly on a 3 series (e36 or e46) or do we have to do modifications to fit them in?

ViKTORiOUS · 07-09-2008, 12:26 PM

Some of those rims you pictured aren't Style 5's, they are BBS RS's

simsima325 · 07-09-2008, 12:29 PM

the style 5 have the straight lip, ya.

they will fit, u may have to stretch some tire, they come in 5er offset, but its not THAT aggressive (from what i have seen)

the last pic is the best example, that guy has more pics up, give a search.

e46stallion · 07-09-2008, 12:30 PM

that black e30 is cleannnnn

simsima325 · 07-09-2008, 12:34 PM

btw, search ebay, i think these come up there often. cheap.

996andC5 · 07-09-2008, 12:46 PM

Wow Im digging the look on the E46. So whats the deal. Can we run 5 series rims? will they just stick out, because i like that look better :O

simsima325 · 07-09-2008, 12:49 PM

^ yes. lug pattern is the same but it will poke out. requires some fender work and tire stretching at the least

BreakMyWallet · 07-09-2008, 12:51 PM

just roll your fenders, stretch some tires, and live with minimal rubbing

simsima325 · 07-09-2008, 12:52 PM

^ dope new sig, pal

gangster drop

haha I see my car up there. Doesnt look like that anymore though. Here's the new look,

cchrisstopherr · 07-10-2008, 09:59 PM

pretty OG

e34werkz · 07-10-2008, 09:59 PM

On my old e34:

Same set on my 3 back in the day:

I would have kept them but the offset was too low and I was constantly rubbing. Wish I wouldn't have sold them though.

KwhyLE · 07-10-2008, 09:59 PM

Looks good dude! ive always wanted to see what that style wheel would look on a E46.

Rubbing issues?

simsima325 · 07-10-2008, 10:02 PM

you had the wrong tires on there, gotta stretch a bit, but the offset doesnt look too bad.

Yea, I was running 235's. I would have had to go to 205's or 215's to avoid rubbing. Plus my car isn't lowered so it didn't look to good. They went to a good home.
