    Which place are you talking about that does it for $120 a set in SD?
    Also, did you already purchase a set of style5s or are you looking for them?
    E38 style5s look dope, no doubt. I recommend fill and drill if you are getting it done for $120. Again, i would like to know that place. Forget adapters.

        Place was called The Wheel Zone, and I'm buying them tomorrow. Unless they are in super awful condition but from pics it doesnt look that way. Aaaand price we are still working on, but 1 is BBS the other 3 are Fundo. Doesn't matter if they're mixed really does it? Other than I cant claim to have a BBS set… Haha

          doesn't matter, the wheels were made with the same mold. no difference other than the bbs being minutely lighter.

            Well i have 3 BBS and 1 Fundo. LOL..
            Willing to exchange it? You could have a set of 4 Fundos and 1 can have 4 BBS..
            HAHA..I hope that they are in great condition. How much $ are you dishing out for them?
            Let me know..
            Thanks for mentioning the wheel shop. I am currently on a hunt for an affordable redrill shop who do quality work.

              Yep true. I have compared them side by side and they are identical.

                        So I got the Style 5's, what size wheels em I going to want to run on these? I dont even know how to read/understand the whole tire size thing :?

                        And as far as spacers, I need an 8mm to clear the caliper right? What should I run if I want to get them somewhat flush with the car lines? Nothing to insane, just want it to look nice.

                              Also, where would you suggest I look for spacers? Other than here of course. I'm hesitant of anything on ebay just because I dont want the wheels vibrating all over

                                H&R has spacers an I'm sure you could trust those. I also just picked up some style 5s but don't have the funds to get a fill and drill yet nor do I know where to get it done locally... But anyway from the info I've gathered you can run 3 mm spacers with shaved clips or 5 mm and don't shave? Don't quote me on that tho. As far as tires when the time comes I'll be going for 215/45/16 or 225/45/16 if I can cause I'm not a huge fan of the stretched look.
