ST1G's s52 OBDII Calypsorot

[ST1G]

That's a steal. I was gonna give you shit for not saving for wheels but at 50 bucks. I would have been all over that. I agree I got a 3.79lsd and the gears are way to short I honestly have no use for first with this diff

Haha thanks, I'll get the style 5's with money from selling euro parts, I've got a lot of stuff coming in the next few weeks.

The guy actually has some RC090 style 5's that he might sell to me. He was going to run them on his 5er but might be getting into the volvo game and selling the 5er. They need to be restored, but that would be less expensive than anything else I've found.

Buy them... Polishing lips is easy peasy just takes a while and hurts your finger tips haha. And no need to get the centers professionally done. Just get them blasted and rattle can them. That's how my turbos are

If he will sell them, I'll do everything in my power to snatch them up. They are hard to find around here. I think a polished lip with a white centre would look fantastic on the calypso.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

That would look amazing.

[ST1G]

Welp. I picked some up. I got a pretty good deal on them (I think at least) and I couldn't pass them up. I might sell the LSD to offset the cost, but I don't know. I'm torn.

Style RC 090 Style 5's. I plan on running some adaptors for now. The lips need polished and the centers need stripped and painted. There is a little rash on one lip, and some gashes in another. Over all not bad at all.





Who puts the wheel weight on the lip.....


Also refreshing my cluster again, didn't like the red needle color and I did the odo wrong.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Sweet! Glad to see you got them. I need to redo my cluster aswell and swap in a early model gas gauge

[ajhostetter]

Those wheels look fantastic!

White, gold, or black. Exactly what I was thinking for mine.

[ajhostetter]

I think I'd go gold or white on those centers

I agree. I was thinking a gold metallic flake, or silver/grey flake center.

got the wheels cleaned up a bit. Next is disassembly.

[TimeMachinE30]

I had similar wheels on my VW. They were re-drilled. Not sure what spacing they were before. Got them while in MA. Forget where they went... like these yes?

[ST1G]

I can't really tell from that photo, but they look to be the same wheel.

[ST1G]

Removed the centres today. Total time so far 1 hour.

[ThatOneEuroE30]

Did you have the feeling of wanting to pay someone to take them apart by about the third wheels? I know I did with mine haha you just get so tired of holding two ratches for hours on end

Style 5's seem to be the thing right now...and for good reason. im looking for a set too.

Looking good, ST1G.
