Just got the new wheels on, with matching BBS caps....

BBS RC090 w/ "BBS RS style" mesh center caps
17x8.0 ET20
12mm spacer front
15mm spacer rear
205/40/17 FALKEN ZIEX TIRES


B&G S2 Springs - cut 1.5 coils up front and 1 coil rear....more lows planned in the near future.













C&C welcome.

DAMN that looks nice!

Here we go again..

For the record, it looks great now. Any lower and you're on the wrong forum.

Looks great! I like that ride-height, looks about where mine is. But I don't think a little lower would hurt

Does the BBS center cap insert fit properly?

They are actually the mesh caps from the E34 with the BBS logo. They fit but they don't line up 100%. I think they look a lot better than the caps the wheels come with originally.

I like the BBS logo, but the unusual fitment of the e34 cap looks a bit off to me. Other than that, I think they look pretty damn good!

I agree with everyone. The RS caps look off but the black w/ silver inserts look super sick. I go back and forth on that tire size... though I have monsters on right now so I cant talk. I would really like to see this thing in person. Also you will get a ton of shit for dumping a car on here but pay them no mind. Stay up!

I think I might've not lined up the caps properly...here's a picture of somebody else showing the fitment of the e34 caps...

Why would you run 205s on an 8" wide wheel?

Less side wall?


looks sick chop another half a coil off the front though

They are not RS caps. I wish people would stop saying that.

I really don't see what's wrong with the original caps.

A pic of BBS RS...you tell me if they don't look identical...

Fixed my center caps...looks proper now.

They don't.

Thanks for showing me a photo of BBS RSs. I've never seen them before.

Trying to school wkohler... Not gonna happen.

I'm not disagreeing that the E34 caps look good. They do. Just don't call them RS caps. They're not.

I will say that my only complaint about style 5s is with the Roundels. I don't know how many you people think we need on the cars, but I'm okay with one in the front, one in the back and one on the steering wheel. The BBS centers make the wheels.

What's the part number on those E34 caps?

Nice wheels

I still think the e34 caps look identical to RS caps.

I agree. Thats why I modified BBS center caps into style 5 center caps. It's not hard to do and totally changes the look of the wheel.

Looks badass! DPP approved.

Looks good man, I hope to sit like that someday.

Awesome! Car looks great. Caps are fine, ignore the critics.

Apparently, he's homostretchual. The widest rim approved for a 205 tire is 7½".

Car looks great. I really need to find me a set of Style 5s too
