    Oddly,

    I have hex caps from the 17" style 5, and am about to order the caps pictured above. Can anyone confirm or deny that they'll fit? thanks!

        Those are the 16" style 5 type caps
        I don't believe the e38 style 5s came in another size other than 16", so it would be rather unlikely these won't fit since they were the only cap produced

        Hope that helps

            Ive heard the 16" hex hub cap will fit the 17" style 5s... I found a guy on CL who has them locally but he's acting like an azz

                    The one on the left is a stock 17" style 5. The one on the right has the 16" e38 style 5 center cap on it. Opinions??

                                yeah looks good. Prob a cheaper solution then 17'' CAPS.

                                    I'm really not a fan of the caps on the 16" style 5's and I would like to be able to buy some hex caps that will look proper.

                                    So the caps fit in all of the way and sit flush? From what I gather, they won't attach properly, but that is something that I can likely devise a solution for. I'd be taking the 17" caps and putting them on the 16" wheels, but if it works for yours, I'd assume it'll work for the 16's.

                                        bump! interested in running hex caps on my 16" fundo style 5's.
                                        i recently saw the 16" caps on 17"'s but don't know if visa versa will work...

                                        can anyone else chime in?

                                                16" Style 5 centercap options

                                                I'm pretty sure they will fit, but they won't look proper

                                                I've never minded the 16" style 5 caps though. I admit they don't look as good as hex caps, but they aren't exactly bad either

                                                    Shitty picture but you can see the fitment of the 15" e34 weave cap. I got rid of the wheels before I figured out how to secure them.
