m-parallel wheels
I'm been debating for a while whether I like my polished t-stars vs M-parallels.
I found a good deal on M-parallels but don't know if they will fit my car and if they are OEM or not. The guys got them from a friend with a e38 740? he can't seem to find a part number? isn't the part number stamped on the back? He claims they are
staggered 18x8 Et14 and 18x9.5 et26.
Tires are continental Conticontactsports

Finish looks like a replica. If they are original BMW wheels off of an e38 7 Series they will have the appropriate part #'s on them and stamps.Originally Posted by InfernoM3

and the tire sizes are odd for an e38...
the recommended tire sizes for staggared MPars (as they come from the factory) are:staggered 18x8 Et14 and 18x9.5 et26.

don't buy
Seems like these are replicas from your responses. That was what I was thinking too? So i shouldn't buy these then. He was offering $600 which would be a good deal for OEM? but for Replica's they aren't that great.
