Are theses wheels BMW bottle caps? They almost look like them but they're 5 lug and I thought caps were 4? Found em on craigslist for $50 a piece with center caps but no tires.

I wish there was a way to convert from 4x100 to 5x120... so many oem bmw wheels would look good on 4x100 cars! They're dirt cheap used too!

I still want to get a set of these myself. They can look pretty damn nice depending on how you paint them. Although, I've seen them on a silver EG in there silver non-painted form and they look pretty descent.

OK, it wasn't an EG, but close. :D

I'm thinking some bronze ones would look brutal.

You can get 2 piece spacers that go from 4x100 to 5x100 then to 5x120, but they are so thick that it pokes the wheels out too far. alot of the 15" bmw wheels are around +20 offset to begin with which would be ideal before a spacer.

If someone made a 5x120 hub for civics, that would be cool. Then the offset wouldn't be too low.
