GA: 740 BBS 16x8 **4x100**

[LordDRIFT]

I called today and they place that normally does wheel repair for our shop can do a redrill on the 740 16x8 wheels that I have. I have a couple sets if I send them like 12 wheels it would be a little cheaper...

Would you pay $700.00 for great condition 16x8s that are direct fitment?






There are several cars on here that have five lug conversion and these wheels... I think they are BALLIN and period correct.

Anyone have info on the car above? Specifically tire size info..

How much do you want for 4 of them shipped to 08081?

I got an extra 4 wheels to sell if kylebes runs out. I'm looking to get 175+shipping. Shipping is usually ~25 pc.

And those tires look to be 225/45. They fit pretty flush and don't look like they are stretched or like balloons.

If I had 5 lugs, I'd be all over this. Anyone selling a swap :)

I'm running h&r race springs with billy sports. Bav auto eccentric rear trailing arm bushings, kmac front camber casters, and i retained all the stock spring pads. Tires are 205/50/16 Nitto Neo Gens (awesome tires and a great value.)

I thought you were filling & re-drilling your set of Style 5's??? Oh well, I called LAX Wheels & they quoted $40/wheel for fill 'n drill; is this in the ballpark of what you paid?

What happened to your Style 5's?

looks like 225/45-16 to me.

heres 225/40-16 on my car...

[daniel]

holy crap let me know if 245's fit. when do you think you'll get new tires?

245/40-16's will fit, but don't exist. 245/45's are slightly too big. 245/35's are slightly small and i have found only one tire in that size, the toyo t1r.

I have the e38 style 5 wheels. I love the e39 style 5 wheels but i'm not a fan of 17" wheels on high arch cars. Plus i had a set of tires sitting around in my garage. I paid 160 out the door for my fill and drill.

There you go, expanding my knowledge of Style 5 wheels! I had no idea there were different models with the same name. LAX quoted me the same & from the looks of there work, they know what they are doing.

Thanks for all the good info. :up:

Don't ruin a decent set of wheels for this.

With that said, as long as the backside surface is flat, It should be possible.
