thorburn 121 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 how do you torque them up without them spinning. I'm sure my style 19's had splines on them Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted March 26, 2014 Yea the normal style5s have the top of the bolt splined so you just hit them in and then nut on the back but these are for rs's and just take a 12 point 10mm deep socket Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Gave them a mock up tonight. Was maybe thinking white for centres? Not sure yet Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Ahmedsinc 414 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 If it were me I'd leave them raw But polishing those spokes to a respectable finish will be a ball buster Hmm, starting to think about giving the E39 style 66s in the shed a trial run on my old hack since nobody else seems to want 'em! Still green with envy, style 5s and a set of m-parallels are on my wheel bucket list Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lucan 196 Report post Posted March 31, 2014 Should paint the centers a colour that contrasts the gold so they stand out more...Even though it's been done to death Charcoal centers or a nice dark grey are common for a reason...It looks good! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This. Plus they would look good on both the wagon and m3. Personally Im not sold on white car, white rims Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) I quite like the white on white, and atleast it's not all white with the polished lip and centre caps. Or something like this Lucan/ Gaz I quite like this colour but don't know how well it'll work Edited April 1, 2014 by euroriffic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 (edited) Recommend getting some poor boys branded wheel sealant. This stuff makes cleaning your shiny wheels a breeze, and protects from brake dust eating away at the glossy finish. Its around 50bux from a distributor in tauranga but the pot will last u ages. Can send u link to his site if u want. Arrived today! Hopefully get a chance to do the m3s current style5s this weekend for some better protection.

Gaz 1061 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Have you decided what car they are going on? That red is amazing but I cant picture it working with Dakar Yellow Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 1, 2014 Still not sure what to put them on. Missus said why not put them on her car. I laughed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Got my new polish thanks to Jasjot for recommending it. Hopefully make things nice and shiney Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jeffbebe 1559 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 Looking good. Leave them silver IMO, looks clean and much more versatile if you ever want to swap cars or sell. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 2, 2014 (edited) That is true, but then they're the same as most others out there. Thinking maybe a darker grey/charcoal colour if I went that way. Maybe I should just buy a few different colours of cheap spray cans and see what looks best before I go for the final product? Good project for Easter weekend:) Edited April 2, 2014 by euroriffic Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

pldubs 308 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 Red looks sick. Write off the m3. S50 the wagon. Done and done Sent from my GT-I8190N using Tapatalk Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 3, 2014 The thought is tempting. If Brent didn't want a million dollars for that ruff as m3 and if I didn't buy the e46 or sold the ute it would of been perfect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
euroriffic 609 Report post Posted April 29, 2014 So bit of an update. Have been pretty busy the last few weeks so havnt had much time to polish. But have glued the bbs caps into the centres after giving them a polish, got the centres been dropped off today to be blasted and hopefully getting paint made up in the next few days to be done next week. Listened to the masses and gone with a metallic gunmetal grey similar to this. The car colour not wheels Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

euroriffic 609 Report post Posted June 5, 2014 (edited) I just need to stop being stuck working in tapanui so I can get these things polished and put together. Hoping to have the centres back in the next two weeks and be back working in town in about the same too so I can finally finish them!
