I'm sure they would work but who makes decent spacers here. We've all seen what happens when you fit midas spacers:roflol:

well im sure we could find some one with a lathe and a decent drawing

that's a pity. wheels would have looks really nice on the old school lady. If i don"t find really good spacers somewhere i think i need to swop or sell for a 5 series wheel set.

You can get hubcentric spacers from Twinz, really good quality.

Keep original 14's on an e12 535i, preferably the 7J BBS Mahle rims. That's all you need on such a classic car.

Hi Sith

i bought my car with 3 16inch mahle rims. bought 2 E34 Mags to put at the front and keep the originals on the rears. I am trying to locate Alpina 17'inch or Borbets.

 

[Henry330i]

I've got these Momo 16's on my e24 what do you think.

Are these the Borbets you thinking of

I've been thinking of fitting these when I have cash.

Or just redoing mine with a polished lip. Comments please

I actually really like the wheels you have on at the moment, think it suits the car.

When I refurb them what would you think about a polished lip

I think you should keep them as they are, not a big fan of polished lips.

Hi, this rim will suite your car much better. The design also suites the car due to it coming from that era ot theer abouts, imho.
Nice looking machine you have there.

hey no problemo. i love the look of your car. i think the set suits your car and fit in with the era when she was born. the others that you like will also looks hot. maybe try a photoshop and see if it works for you.

the borbets i talked about is a flat 5 star wheel. and i think it will looks right with the 5. just need to get to cape town and have a look at them again. will find a pic to show you how it looks.
