        You're also not supposed to sell 20 year old cars with used engines for $20k... but who am I to talk?

        ;)

        The bolts are $4+ a piece new, and there is 34 per wheel. I know plenty of guys who are running used bolts with no issue, but I will be sure to put a little extra loctite on while I think of you.

              Since they are stretch type bolts. Like some headbolts out there.

                  Silver M-systems look good, I guess I stole that idea from you. I think the green on green will look good, not a huge fan of style 5's themselves though.

                    plenty of people have re-used style 5 bolts with no problems. does someone have proof that they are stretch bolts or is that just another awesome internet 'fact'?

                      there are 34 bolts holding on the wheel. I would be godsmacked if a wheel completely seperated. reuse the damn bolts.

                        ive never heard of not reusing the bolts. i did 2 times and never had any type of problems, let alone i had stretched tires that were worn down to the the metal cross hatch in the tire, and nothing ever caused a problem.

                          Please don't put the centercaps on those wheels.
                          Style 5's look so much better without them!

                            What centercaps are those? They don't look like regular Style 5 caps.

                              Those look like E34 Style 5 center caps. Not a fan of colored wheels but it should look nice.
