Sounds good Vic. No doubts now since you can test fit them. It does suck that you have to take it out in this weather though. Be sure to let us know how it goes.

bmw's have a 5x120 bolt pattern and the porsche setups are 5x130. h&r make adapters to run different setups on different cars. ie i can buy adapters now to run the phone dials on my vw corrado. here is a photoshop the guy made for me that is selling the wheels. not my car but a twin to it.
im super excited to see if they work now!

Love the wheels, just not keen on adapters or spacers for that matter.

Keep safety above a good deal. IMHO

the e60 models use 5 x 130 that's why its such a biotch to find wheels for the new ones. at least it was.

Nice looking wheels 'Purple'. The BBS patterns always look good. They are a beyatch to clean though, especially if you've got brake pads that are prone to throwing a lot of dust.

They do look nice as you said Patrick, and we more so big in the 1980s here in the US. But that is one thing that is a pain in the butt with any style rim that's simialr to that, and that's when heavy dust brake gets on them. Real pain to keep looking clean all the time. Then again, with that color maybe it will hide it well.

Purple: Best wishes with the wheels.

Also what official colour is that? Slate grey, Gun metal, charcoal? The reason I ask is it's the same on mine and I'm never sure what to tell people when they ask.
