Title says it. Where can I order a new complete set of the bolts that hold together a Style 5 rim?

You could try BBS but I'll bet it's gonna be mundo expensive.

Maybe a wheel repair place?

When i redid a set of them a couple years ago I gave up trying to find new. They are spined at the top of the shaft so you cannot use the more common BBS RS bolts. I ended up painting mine. I They are actually painted from the factory. I cleaned each of them on the wire wheel, and them popped holes in a cardboard box to stick each bolt in and painted them. they came out real nice

Does that mean it's safe to reuse them?

Unless they show damage I would not hesitate to reuse them

There is no way in hell those are 17s. Measure them, I'm not even joking dude, because if those are 17s then I have 16s.

Jay,

I was looking for a set of those bolts as well. I tried BBS America. They only deal with aftermarket wheels and suggested I email BBS DE, so I did. I received a reply from them saying they are contractually obligated to not supply any replacement parts or technical support for OEM wheels for BMW.

I thought they had made a similar aftermarket wheel that the bolts could be used from, but according to Claudia at BBS DE, they did not. She wouldn't come out and say it, but implied that they are available through the stealer.

Are you doing a refinish or a repair?
