style 5's installed

[Philly]

I had them put on a few days ago, but its been raining like crazy here for the past few days... but today there was a little break in the clouds, so i went out and cleaned up the new wheels...

Im missing a grill (flew off somewhere, lol) and im getting my hamann spoiler painted once i get my rieger lip, as well as installing the clutch kit and ltw flywheel... and the tranny is super eff'd so thats why its just driveway pics, and weather permitting, ill do a nice full on photo session here soon once i get my lip/spoiler/grills and tranny all buttoned up good again
but i just had to show off the style 5's - shes definitly in need of a fender roll! I had a couple passengers last night and today i pulled a handful of burnt tire out of my fenders lol




this pic isn't so clear, but check out the camber now


and fyi if your curious, im either putting the 318 back on, or taking the TI off.. im not entirely sure yet... i don't know why i ever though that was cool

EDIT : new pics

[uaza]

are those 17"? what offset and what tire setup?

I can't find those wheels anywhere here in Brazil... I like them so much... what car they come from?(those 17")

[Variance]

Yes, they're 17". IIRC, Style 5's have an ET20 offset.

btw forgot to say that they are beautiful congrats.. and I like them even better without the center caps.. have you tried it?

[PettitWC]

thanks guys!
i can't wait til i can my tranny fixed and all the other goodies so i can go out and get some scenic shots...

Uaza,
they are 17x8's off an E39, they are made by BBS and look almost identical to BBS RM wheels...the offset is 20mm but you also need 74.1/72.56 hubcentric rings to make E39 wheels work on the E36... I found these on Ebay and got a really good deal.

Im really glad i went with these wheels, pushing the tires out another 20mm made a HUGE impact on the handling, it truly feels like a go cart now.

Very nice. December last year I bought styling 5 for my E36. The ones I got have the normal E36-offset. But I got MK-motorsport wheels now. So I'll put the styling 5 back on sale.

those look amazing, ive been wanting to pick up style 5's up for myself but havent been able to find any.

great to hear that mate.. it looks awesome..
how are you managing the tire rub?

[Mallard]

they look brillo mate

but the tyre profile looks dangerously high

are the 235 45 17?

you should if you can find 235 30 17´s instead

but it still looks trick anyway

[wasabinuki]

Style 5's FTW. Can you take a direct side shot and post it for us?

[Ji Money]

I' feelin' that deep dish look on those rims!

[Philly]

2 of the wheels have clearcoat on the lips, and 2 of them do not... for some unknown reason... notice how shiny the driver side is and how "dull" the other side...
so as im writing this, im having a smoke and coffee break from stripping the clear to make them all a mirror finish... I will take a pic of one of the without clearcoat so you can see how freakin awesome they are


Mallard... they are 225/45/17's.... lol, the roads around here are unreal though, Id bang the crap out of my rims without this much tire...I had those tires on my 17x8 beyerns and they worked well.. but with these wheels and this offset, im thinking my next set will be 225/40's .. maybe even go 215's if i can't roll my fenders to much since im going to try it myself.

Uaza, the tire rub is extremely minor when im all by myself, i really gotta bang on it to rub when im alone...
but i had no choice but to load 3 people in it with me the other night... and man, i cried the WHOLE way home.. you should have seen the amount of tire i pulled out of the groove in the rear fender where it folds over.. almost unbelievable.
