    There's a place in England and one in Germany that I know of that sell the splined bolts, however I do not know if they sell the gold plated ones, not to mention that even the polished bolts cost an arm and a leg! Unless it's really worth it to you, I'd personally go with rs bolts, they will work just fine, as I believe many guys on here have done this.

    The England site is justmatz.com. I just looked on their site - they only sell gold rs/rm bolts, however they might be able to get some plated for you.

    You should also be able to get a place in the states to plate your old bolts for you, which will undoubtedly be much cheaper.

    This is the other place that sells the splined bolts, and they do have them in gold:

    http://www.titanium-touch.de/shop/pr...eichenrad.html

    If the link doesn't go directly there, go to rim screws, flanged cap, M7 size, and it's towards the bottom of the page.

    You can use the rs bolts.

    This place can replate your factory hardware. Clear/silver zinc is the factory finish. I got a quote for yellow zinc (gold), and it was $55 ($50 + $5 environmental fee). This does not include shipping, but it does include stripping off the old finishing and cleaning. I think this is a very reasonable price to pay for a finish that will hold up far better than any paint.

    These two threads would be good to have in here..

    The place that makes your style 5's 3-piece:
    http://forums.bimmerforums.com/forum....php?t=1485105

    The best source for BBS centercaps. 70mm face is the correct size to fit into the style 5 caps.

    I'm looking into what it takes to make 5's into a 3-piece wheel. RS lips may work since they're 34 hole. I'm waiting to hear back on more measurements. I have two barrels with bent lips, so this seemed like a good way to try something new and save a couple wheels with inexpensive used lips. I can also narrow the front to a more appropriate ~7.25" width and not have to run stretched tires to clear my hood (Z3, no fenders ).

    - Do it right, or do it twice.
    - BMW: Just because you can afford to buy one, that doesn't mean you can afford to own one.

    Well, that really narrows it down

    Could you be more specific? There are hundreds or thousands of possible composites.

    Has anyone noticed vibrations after swapping to style 5's? I have been getting some very noticeable vibrations on the highway, usually start at ~80mph. At first I was running some cheap plastic hub rings, but I just replaced them for some of the aluminum ones on ebay. Havnt had a chance to try them out yet, just curious if anyone has had the same experience.

    So you're running with no spacers and no fender rolling? That's awesome, what are your specs, wheel width, tire size?
