New Throwing Stars!

[e34.535i.sport]

Finally got a nice set of T-stars... Car looks so much more natural with these on - it was meant to be!

Thanks for all the advice guys, chuffed with the new look!

Looks much better, much less wideboy! I had the same wheels as you when I bought the car and switched them for mpars. It should ride better on 17s as well.

Looks good for reps. So you do have them pointing in the other (wrong) direction on the other side of the car?

IMO T-Stars are the best looking wheel for an E34. Second best would be ACS Type II's (single piece version). M-Pars come in third. And I wouldn't care for anything else on an E34.

Thanks! And yeah I've found it rides much nicer with the 17s... Less harsh over rough surfaces and bumps etc. Although it seemed to corner ever so slightly better with the other wheels - weird?!

Overall I'm really pleased with them though!

Yeah they go the other way on the other side! I would've liked them to all go the same way but for that price i couldn't pass them up.

I agree - I like the T-stars and the M-pars but I'm not sure what the other ones are like, but I think I'll have a look!

I just need a new signature picture now. I wonder if my good friend the Artguy is still working his magic... (Hint hint! LOL! )

I'm just wondering, what tyre pressure do you use with your 17s? I had mine at 32psi but just pumped them up to 35 and it feels better. I know it varies from tyre to tyre but just interested...

I think mine are at 33 front and 38 rear. Running Michelin PS2's 235/45/17.

Hey thanks... I've got some cheap tyres on there as the PS2's are quite expensive... Max inflation on these is 40psi so I didn't want to stress them too much! Hopefully 35 all round will be a good compromise.

40 max? What's the load rating on them?

Try running the front a little softer than the rear. Like 33 or 32.
