I'm about to graduate from basketweaves....

[BFEINZIMER]

I assumed those were pictures from the seller seeing as he is waiting for the deal to close to give us info I dunnos though..

Haha yea one of a couple pics..staggered...and yea I just want to finalize everything before...just in case lol

[leicesterboy15]

They are superb! Are they original (sorry might have missed something)?

I've got a set of non-staggered rep mpars and a set of style 5's as well which need a refurb but IMHO these two sets are the best wheels for the e34, they both run it close but the mpars just pip it for me.

My mission now is to replace the rear with the staggered ones (once I have finished all the other repairs and have more money!)

I think the original poster in this thread needs to explain exactly what he's selling: basketweaves or honeycombs. That's what the second poster was trying to figure out. He wasn't trying to trade you snowtire wheels. He was trying to see if what you were offering would be something he's consider for snow tires.

That's how I read it. So, what are you selling?

[BFEINZIMER]

Ok I'll make it clear:

I'm selling my 4 basketweaves (in my sig pic).

The m-pars are OEM.

BTW, why does staggered make a difference?

[TC535i]

those aren't considered basketweaves, those are "honeycomb", from the V8 cars.

staggered wheels are wider in the rear, and as a result can have a really deep lip (staggered m-parallels, rondell style 58 in the 9" rear, etc)

[BMWCCA1]

Staggered rears may also increase understeer in these cars that already have an ample supply. If you're only doing it for show and you don't really drive it hard, you'll never notice, until you try to rotate them for wear!

[BFEINZIMER]

oh yea you can rotate these huh? o well..really these arnt really basketweaves? well if you notice the center is a flat cap, and the others similar have the grooved cap and the inner part is also weaved, thats what i have in my trunk for the spare

so my sig pic is whats on the car

and this is my spare




so 2 qutestions: whats the performance difference, if any in staggered

and does anyone have the weight difference between the m-pars and the honeycombs?

[swenpro]

yup, wheel in your sig pic is "honeycomb" I have them too

[BMWCCA1]

Your "spare" appears to be the stock wheel from an E38 7 Series and it's an inch wider than your "honeycombs", if that matters to you.

[wjbell]

whats the performance difference, if any in staggered

A staggered wheel set, as I understand it, is meant to create understeer. Meaning that the front will loose traction in a corner faster that the rear, which is a more controllable situation.
