Hi, I have been doing a lot of searching for information on these wheels, but I cant seem to find a place to buy them. I tried contacting some BF.c members, but didnt get anywhere with that.
Does anyone know a place to buy these or know someone selling them? Here is a picture I found here on bf.c....

I originally fell in love with the e39 style 5's, so I figure these are a good alternative to the 5's which wouldnt fit.

I think you're better trying to get them from someone in the euro market, I've seen them on some euro M3 and 328 clubsports.

How do you mean exactly? Where is the best place to search the euro market?

I'm telling you that if you can't find them in the US, you should try looking for them in Europe because I have seen them in euro specs cars. Not sure if the shipping will kill you or not.

I see. Yea the only problem with euro wheels is getting them to the US. One company quoted me $300 USD to ship a set of wheels...I was shocked.
thanks for the advice Daved

E39 Style 5's have been fit to many an M3/e36 - do a search for hooj's posts among others - just need the proper hub centric ring I think...
Good Luck

They make a Style 5 in E36 fitment. I can get you a part number tomorrow at work. They cost big bucks though.

The Style 5's have a et20 offset....Hooj had to roll his fenders and run really narrow tires, neither of which I want to do. There is not enough room in the fenders to run the Style 5's.

I never heard of style 5's in e36 fitment. Could you get me more information on them?

Really? I have never seen these. I guess they are really expensive for a reason. How much $$ are we talking here....?
