    are you buying them from a private seller or is it from a shop? the reason i ask for the link is so I can buy a set as well.

    The hubcenter is different at least: 72.5mm instead of 74mm. Otherwise...

    Although rather rare, there were staggered 72.5mm hub BBS RS (the #5's) made for the 1995 540i/6's. They don't need hub-centric rings, as the E39 Style 5's would.

    Sorry private seller... I'm really excited! Lots of sets in 18" around, would you consider them?

    can you ask the seller where he bought his 17's? 18's look good, but the extra weight and tire cost have sort of put me off.

    Do you need hubcentric rings to run the 17 inch mpars on your car, or were they designed for the e34?
