my 330i

[nick.e46.330i.]

picked up some style 5's off of a guy from craigslist today for $300. gonna be refinishing them. hopefully they will be done before eurohanger!

[nick.e46.330i.]

put them on to see what they'd look like.

If theyre clean id leave them original. You have no idea how ungodly the clear is. And polishing the lips takes a million years to do lol Also, make sure not to ruin any nuts or bolts. They're expensive to replace. $250 FPR bolts and $75 for nuts

[nick.e46.330i.]

I got flap wheels to take the clear off and I'm not gonna polish the lips.

[Earl]

^STRIP THEM!!!!! That Shit is thick. lol And remember, black lips make them look tiny because they blend in with the tires.

Really like the style 5's on there. It was nice to meet you at Scooter's.

[nick.e46.330i.]

Yea. And it was nice to me you and the couple other people too. We should try to get people to go to eurohanger

[Earl]

Looks to be on June 30th in Michigan. If my car is miraculously done I'd go.

[nick.e46.330i.]

What do you all have to get done?

[Earl]

Paint, wheels, gaskets, trim

Lol

[nick.e46.330i.]

Oh haha. Taking the bolts out of the wheels are a pain in the ass. Haha

[Earl]

Took me well over an hour to disassemble one wheel by hand. Trust me, you'll never want to work on another set again after youre done.

[nick.e46.330i.]

They started to come out pretty easy once I sprayed wd 40 on them.

[Earl]

Just watch the lips because they bend and ding easy.

[nick.e46.330i.]

Today I talked to my cousins finance and I might be able to get my powdercoating done for free!

[Ryan...]

Style 5s look good on literally any BMW!

[Earl]

^I can't seem to believe that theyd look good on a z1 or an x3:P

[nick.e46.330i.]

So yesterday I got bored and I started to ziptie my bumper.

[nick.e46.330i.]

[wasnt m3]
