    Default can't decide which rims to pick up

    alright well i have a choice right now between a set of

    - 8Jx17 BBS RC090 (style 5), but 2 of the mags need refinishing, and need new bolts all around (anyone know where to get replacement parts for theses, bigger lips, chrome bolts?)

    or

    - 2x 8Jx17, 2x 9Jx17 e39 540i style 32, good condition


    they're both around the same price

    it's for a 1990 bmw 525ia white

    while the look of the style 5 is fantastic, they are a pain to clean.
    after you pay to refinish the 5's you might regret the amout of money it has cost.
    i wasn't a fan of the 32's until I bolted them on my car yesterday. They are a nice wheel and internet photos dont do it justice.

    I love the style 5's, but I'm gonna vote Style 32's just for the fact that you don't have to spend more money to refinish/repair.... It sounds like you're gonna spend about $700+ just refinishing them (I think a set of new bolts is about $250 alone)
