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

[spanish pants]

These look sooo good, that i need to do this. I´ve been looking for the "right" set of wheels but nothing has convinced me until now.

So just to clarify, all that was done was the fill and drill and the face milled flat?

e38 5s weight about 19 lbs.

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.

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.

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?

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

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.

[keefy6]

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

that's the beauty of opinion!

Why? You can't afford ANYTHING apparently.
