Flush Mount Valve Stems

[Earl]

Bump;)

[Ryan...]

Never heard of them...

[industrialsized]

i wouldn't do it they can be a real pain in the butt

[Earl]

^That's what I've heard. But I've also heard lots of good things. The main pain is having to use the adapter to check air, but I'd rather do that for the sake of riding of the ugly stem. I'll just get a set and see how I like them. Lol

what are the new wheels....? Pics?

[Earl]

I have style 5's that I'm finishing building atm:) pics when they're mounted. Lol

[quillbro]

hmm... im thinking stlye 5's also for the e30. My buddy says they are played out... somehow i dont care since i have had a hardon for them for about 5 years or more.

[Earl]

They are played out but it is because they look good. Same with Rs, Lm, and all other BBS wheels. lol If you make them different than the norm, like gold bolts, ect. then you will stand out=)

[Ryan...]

I saw a set of RS the other day with polished lips, bright silver centers and black bolts. Looked crazy sexy!

Although I do prefer gold bolts personally.

[quillbro]

Im thinking 16" style 5 single piece wheels. Kinda OEM+ look.

They also have stems on the lip though, so flushmounts would be good for that wheel as well. I assume you are doing e39 two piece style 5's?

[Earl]

Those would be it:) and i have a friend with a feebly refinished set of 16" style 5's that he is selling.

feebly as in weak? Or was that a typo....

I might be interested in them... how much? are they still 5x120?

for what its worth i was thinking of putting the style 5 splits on the e30 but I guess from what people say a fender roll is not good enough... you have to get fenders pulled, if you are running spacers. (im on 4x100).

The cost of a 5 lug swap is more than I would want to spend. I would rather just buy nice 4x100 RS for the price of 5 lug + wheels.

[Earl]

The RS would cost you well over a grand. And I meant freshly. If you run adapters you would need a ton of fender work to fit style 5 splits. On a 5 lug swap it wouldn't be bad.

Yeah not sure what to do... decisions decisions. I think my wheel whoring days are pretty much over. My euroweaves look nice, but im just not too fond of 15" on the e30, I ran several sets back in the day. But I never ran 16" and I think 16 or 17" would be perfect. More towards 16 though.

Also question for those who know. The 16 and 15" BBS RS shared the same size faces correct? You have to step up to a 17" RS to get a bigger face...???
