    Default 18" Style 5 Wheels ??

    These were eluded to in an earlier post. I am guessing these were used on an e38 car ? as the hub is to small for an e39.

    According to what I have been able to find out, the style 5's were made in 15", 17" and 18" sizes.

    Yep. They were produced for the e39 in 15" and 17" sizes (although I've never seen a 15" style, maybe euro spec?) and 18" for the e38.

    the 15" ones look like ass IMHO. no lips. I've got a set 0f 17"s for sale if anyone wants them.
