Just got them in a couple of weeks ago, they complete the car.

Handles much better now, and the car evn feels faster!

I have always liked them wheels, the thought of cleaning them turned me away. They look great on your car.

I always thought it was considered light gray... but I do like it better then the tan.

Hey that looks great, good drop too.. those wheels are right up there with M-pars and Style 32.

couple of small things will improve the car dramatically with very little $.

1. remove pin stripe
2. tint windows
3. shadowline the chrome trim.

Just tint will do it :) Oh, and get rid of the wide grill. Heh!

I like 'em... a lot. I guess those are what my 635CSi has too. I did not know they were style 5's; though I had my suspicions. There are quite a few nooks and crannies to keep clean...:p Brake dust sucks!!!

I even just got Style 5's for mine too. Hope mine look as good as yours!

They should! Calypso's Rule! I looked at a bunch of different wheels, but the style 5's have that classic BMW look. Getting a lot of stares...

I saw your 530i on fleabay and was tempted... but that "small oil leak" scared me away. Hope you get it working properly.

The 525i with the EAT chip has decent quickness, and the new wheels make it feel that much quicker. Works nicely as my commuter car.

Yup, small oil leak turned into needing two head gaskets :(

Good thing the car was 10 times cleaner than they described it or I would have been pissed. The new gaskets are in and we're just finishing it up.

Unfortunately we're slightly off on the timing so we're going to have to re-do that. Over the winter I'm going to drop in a 4.0L :D

Just curious, but how much did you get your wheels for? I got mine for $750 with tires. They were e34werkz' old wheels.

Mmmm, that's nice. I would say the only thing you need now is euro trim since you have clears. Tint and shodowline optional on your color :)

SO SO hot right now. looks great on the style 5s and looks like a pampered e34.

Look Great!
Not too hard to clean if they're waxed and have good low dust pads....

I notice your dash is nice and flat, whereas mine is starting to warp...

I got them on fleabay for $850 with Michelin Pilot Sports on them (60% tread remaining). The're in decent condition, and the tires still grip well. Had to get th hubcentric rings thought...

Are you getting the 4.0l with the 6speed? I'm looking to get another e34, this time a manual... maybe a 535 or a 540 if I can find one.

I got lucky, it's the premium model with all the extra leather. The interior was in very good shape, it just needed some TLC.

I'm retaining my 5-speed manual tranny and using the 4.0L engine. It's a very easy swap. All that is needed is the 4.0L chip and the engine.
Actually, all you really need is the block. the 530 heads fit on and give it higher compression, but not as good flow.

euro trim is such a necessity here

Those look great! Really makes the car stand out! How much did they set you back if you don't mind me asking?


Thinking of picking these up for my car. 17 X 8.5 with tires for $1059.00.
