    Default Looking for Throwing Star/Turbine Covers + hardware...

    If anyone has a set, or knows someone who does, please drop me a line- BavAuto charges 100$ per cover, which is a bit on the pricy side. I don't even want to know what a local dealer would charge for one.

    thanks!

    Dealer list is $115/ for each throwing star. You will need the BMW centercap, another $29.54/ each & the bolts @ .85 cents each. That would be $148.79 each rim! Double check w/ Bav Auto to if it's just the throwing star cover or the cover w/ everything included.... Me thinks it just the T/S cover...

    Do you happen to know what it's listed under, or what words in the title I should search for?

    Default I replied with a couple pictures of the turbine covers.

    There is a guy with a set of throwing star covers on the roadfly classifieds for $300, no center cap over the lugs.

    Here are my spare turbines:

    Yeah, 3 friggin' lefts. Hope the wife doesn't notice the dining room rug.
