Guest SamSpargo Report post Posted October 21, 2008 Not sure on cost, but they're a 2 piece rim, rather than a 3 piece. Just a general fyi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kiwi535 538 Report post Posted October 21, 2008 i am under the impression that style 5 are 5 series offsets...I may well be wrong,also i dont think that "std" style 5s" had quite so much dish as that pic.E39 style fives will have a 74 mm or so bore,as opposed to the 72.5 of 5,6,7 and eights....
