are throwing stars the best?

[Kulasstar]

i see a lot of e34 with them.
at first i thought they look too plan but the more and more i see them
the larger my appreciation for them grows.
but before i decide to get them i have some questions
(i could probably look up the answers but wheres the fun in that)

How big are they?
How much are they?
Is there a better set of rims for e34s?

thanks everyone.

ps i found a big scratch on my fender, ruined my day.

I don't care for throwing stars. There are plenty of other wheels I would actually prefer to have on my car. ...Brace for flames... I have never heard anything bad about Rondell wheels. I had a set of 16" on my old Bimmer, and it looked fantastic. #58's if memory serves. Check out the Wheel Exchange. I think their prices are fair. Of course the apex of the aluminum heap is going to almost universally be BBS. I don't know about fitment on the throwing stars, though.

Yup, the best. They are 17 x 8" with some 17 x 9" rears for later Euro m5's. There are also some for the 8 series with different offset. The m5 tstars have a 20mm offset.

Looks rainy there.

Yup, the best.

There really are a lot of other wheels that look good on an E34. Almost anything BBS makes is ****.

My favorite on the E34, plus they're strong, light, and help cool the brakes. There's other stuff that's nice, but to get that weight and strength in a new wheel is big bucks.

you can find a LOT of variations and intensities of them with polished lips though....I'm not a fan of mirror polishing, but somewhere in the middle looks good on many colors
