    Default are throwing stars the best?

    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.

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

    17x8/17x9 on M5

    17x8 all around on the touring

    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.

    Default Um....there are some laying on ebay once in awhile...

    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
