Ok,
I have a 95 540 with 17 throwing star rims that are in very good shape. I have considered trying to sell them for the simple fact that I love the m-parellells and I would like to have 18's. I know throwing stars are extremly rare, so what are they worth? I would say they are in excellent shape......95%. Paint looks great, no rash. and with pretty good rubber. Ive been thinking of selling them in the spring but just wanted to get some input on what everyone thinks would be a appropriate price.
thanks

The set for sale on the site has painted rims, not polished.

I paid $1200 to Saliya at EuroMcars for my T-stars. Very pleased with condition and packing.

He is a good resource for those looking for M upgrades...maybe he has bumper covers too

I stand corrected...The polished lipped rims are sold.

I paid $800 for 5 clean M5 wheels with turbine covers, no tires, and another $100 for t-star covers from a seperate person.

The M5 came with a staggared set already on the car

How many wheels will you sell and what tires are they?

No but I would. He was very fair and he packed the wheels well and shipped them well. I would buy those M5 brakes he has if it didn't set off a thousand dollar upgrade frenzy

This may give you some idea of a price to put on them(price in AU of course-Au$1=US74c). The guy is selling the wheels seperately. From memory the bidding is up to about AU$450 and one of them is cracked!

I have been looking for throwing stars for sometime now. I'd really like to upgrade from the stock wheels I have now. I'm in CA - please e-mail me at calabrz@yahhoo.com with pictures and let me know price I'd appreciate it.
