The M5 started with the Turbine wheels, then got Throwing stars [in 1993 I think], and then the very first M Parallels were factory fitted on the 1995 Euro 3.8L M5 and were forged and flat silver, not polished or mirror finished. They have different measurements than the e38 M-pars as well.

"What are the factory wheel and tire sizes for the E34 M5?

There are two factory 17-inch wheels for the E34 M5, M System I and M System II. Both are a two-piece wheel with a forged five-spoke center and a cast rim covered by an outer cover. The only difference is the design of the outer cover, "turbine" for the M System I and "throwing star" for the M System II. This outer cover is interchangeable between the two M System wheels, making updating form the earlier style to the later style an easy (and therefore common) procedure.

The 3.6-liter M5 is equipped with 235/45ZR17 tires on 8x17-inch M System I wheels. However, for the 1993 model year, North American-spec M5s use the M System II design in the same size. In addition, wider 255/40ZR17 rear tires on 9x17-inch M System I wheels were available as an option in some markets (not North America).

All 3.8-liter M5 sedans built before May, 1994 are equipped with 235/45ZR17 tires on 8x17-inch M System II wheels. Sedans equipped with the optional Nurburgring Package and all Tourings use wider 255/40ZR17 rear tires on 9x17-inch M System II wheels.

All M5s built after May, 1994 have 245/45ZR18 tires on all four corners with staggered M Parallel Spoke wheels measuring 8x18-inches in the front and 9x18-inches in the rear. Note: Though nearly identical in style to the 18-inch M Parallel Spoke wheels later used on the E38 7 Series, the E34 M5 wheels have a matte silver finish and a unique offset."

I'll go $8hundy...a lil reserve check.

ok, $810, there that pesky bidder to beat.

Ya know, it's been said that not having a reserve or buy it now can sometimes start an insane bidding war that usually beats what you would have ordinarily reserved for....so ya might want to take that into account...you know...it's been said

Here is a duh question. So if mine are 18 inch and staggered, does that mean they came from an M5 rather than an e38?
