Default BBS Style 5 / Basket weave rims on a 2GS

Been searching for awhile now, but has anyone done or seen a 2GS on basket weave deep dishes? Been curious about how it would look and if it's even possible to get style 5's rebarreled /redrilled. If its been covered, please reply with a link or pics. Thanks

Here's a quick photoshop



I like it

WORK made some wheels awhile back that looked like the BBS RS and Style 5. The model name was Monza. They were discontinued a long time ago though.

Sorry to say but,. being a former E46 as well as E39 owner,. BBS style 5's, aka BBS RC090 iirc,. are 2 piece. face/lip + barrel. Came in 17x8+20 as well as 18's as stated above. wouldnt be able to step to 19's without a good amount of work from someone experienced in removing face from lip.. etc. best of luck to ya @op.
