Well almost done with this stage of the build.





testing the color on a cap, matching the powder coat, got to try again

Oooooh. Pretty. What tires are you going to run?

Cool, have always pondered about re-drilling a set of LM's (5x112) because 4x100 wheels are hard to come by in NJ :/

very nice man, first time you posted them I thought you were going 5 lug

this was definitely an adventure but worth it

Thanks, I was going to go 5x120 but I really wanted to stay true to most of the cars design, which is the reason that for now, I will keep my beloved M20 and resist(for now) dropping in the s52 or an s54. I will post up a full thread on the build later.

Looks sweet. I like the better looking center caps as well.

[Supadave]

just curious, how do they do the redrilling?

That's what my dad says about my 318i, to keep it as it is but damn if I'm going all out on it might as well and drop the s50 in there but definitely will keep the m42 power plant just in case.. props dude!!!

as far as I know, they fill in the existing holes, mill them and then drill the new pattern. here is the back

now.. THAT looks good..

[324td]

uhm..this

looks great. But this

doesn't..there's no flat mounting/contact point for the head of the bolts..half of it will be resting on the raised edge around the hub bore, another half will be just hanging in the air. not to mention the lack of pointy pocket thingys.
here's a pic for reference, you canclearly see a difference between the holes on yours and this one.

im always so scared about fill and redrillin holes

[ubernasty]

what 324td said... i was thinking the same thing

[pwagon717]

To kill that theory, just run studs Ruben.

Maybe using tuner lugs?
