^ Did you buy them from a guy in/near San Jose? I called that guy but a bunch of people got to him first.
Yeah thats the guy, he sold the first set those are the second, the next day my friend picked up a set for $200 bucks, dude I looked through your flickr account, sick pictures man, those style 5's are so sick, are you still selling the bolts? are they gold to?
About the silicone, you have to re-seal the centers to the barrels? what the process?

IMO 3 piece is easier to do then style5's i hated those wheels when it came to refinishing
3 piece is just sealing and cleaning. Where your center mounts on the style 5 its split in 2 pieces on a 3 piece wheel .
Red scotchbrite is all you need. Use some commet to help clean them.
You need to buy some clean wheels. They make cleaning the silicone as simple as rolling the piece on the floor while holding a drill. I can clean all the silicone off a 3 piece wheel in about 2 minutes.
pics cause i miss my e36
She will be missed
Man every time I see your E36 I do a double take. So clean.
Wicked sick.

1 quick question for ya and everyone, I don't know if it's just me but, does anyone else clean the inside of the barrel?
I'm working on some 18" Style 5's for myself and 18" M-Parallels for my dad's new set I bought him, and I noticed how dirty the inner barrel gets due to owner negligence from old brake dust depositing there.
I was thinking of at least scuffing them down with a scuff pad and just blackening them out with flat black primer. Is that a good idea?

I just picked up a set of style 5's for 300$ today great write-up I will be following it closely.
