My e38 style 5 drill/fill progress -wheels painted /measurement/info

[keefy6]

this is the closest i have actually..

How did u install the front wheels? What spacers?

okay: wheels+tires+extended bolts+5mm spacers+hub centric rings+lug nuts+socket+wrench=installed:)

I would never run those, they look amazing but the hub mounting is so damn thin. Never track those!

thanks? i guess, lmao why would you consider these to be track wheels

[m_dudey]

any updates on these wheels? how are the welds and modification to the hub holding up? and surely you must have better pictures by now!

[keefy6]

sorry man, im in FL and the grey ghost is in VA sleeping since may buuuttt...

i'm going to bimmerfest east:) if all plays well!

pictures are on my to do list

[keefy6]

Guess i'll update. well its been 7 months, from home to Bfest and back which is about 500 roundtrip and no issues. pretty much scratch free too so big up to Memoryfab again.

Still happy as fuuuuuuu!!

i posted a pic i took this week in the 'as it sits thread', here's another with a lil' more sun

That is some top notch work but, I just don't like it. The lug bolts stick out too much, they just look odd.

this is beautiful. how much was it to get this done?

Why? You can't afford ANYTHING apparently.

hey thanks man, the best way to know is to contact them and explain what you want to have done. the price will vary and isn't set.

This might be a stupid question because I have no idea on the cost of what you did
But wouldn't this have been easier if you had switched to a 5 lug setup?
And not needed to make any changes to the wheels?
Or is this a weight issue?

[keefy6]

Easier? I can't answer that because I don't have my car 5-Lug swapped, maybe those that have can answer that.

The option to use adapters was available, however I just didn't want that and I prefer the wheels without the center cap.

I did price a complete 5-lug swap before I thought of doing this and it was above 1K just to accumulate the parts and that's before even buying wheels. Could be cheaper now, but cost of my wheels finished is below that.

OP, by chance did you weigh your wheels or know how much they weigh without tires?

No I didn't actually, shouldn't be hard to find out though/interwebs:). They will weigh a few ounces less due to the center being shaved.
