A choice between genuine and copies, personally, I would always go for the genuine option...
Also, "throwing stars" seem to be a bit rarer... James |

Parrallelelelllless (or whatever)
Or maybe the wheels off this? 
I like to look at other BMWs to get inspiration. Have a look at current 3,5,6,7 Series cars. Might be something you havent considered |

Throwing star. Every time. And not because I just happen to have a set of turbine centres you could fit for that early M5 look. :-)

Throwing star for me. The M parallels are classy but the throwing stars are CLASSIC. |

Anyone know if these will fit? 19" on an E34 with 10" rear tyres and 9" fronts? I like them but thought they were too big!! |

Throwing stars for sure. The parallels just look like aftermarket tat on that car.

Parallels look class on E34, i'm a sucker for wheels with any sort of polished deep dish look.

I have the M-parallels on my 7, but I'd still go for the throwing stars on an M5.

The Throwing Star wheels are a lot harder to find and you will end up paying a lot for them!! I admit they do look good but am a sucker for polished big wheels!! Paul |

Just what the doctor ordered!!! But how much will they go for? (and they really do need a refurb). http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&category =72254&item=7946789944&rd=1 Edited by Lancastrian |

Throwing stars. Also known as M-"System II" Style 21 alloys.
Just as well I've got a set for my old Six. 
By the way, please note that although they were fitted to both the E34 M5 and E31 8-series, my understanding is that the offset differs between the two cars. You should obviously want the E34 set, and not the E31, otherwise there might just be some weird effect. The set you can see on e-Bay look as though they are meant for the E31 Eight. The set applicable to the E34 Five has a removable centre disc. For a closer look at how the wheel breaks down into its component parts, CLICK HERE You will find the offset statistics for this wheel style HERE - study before you part with your cash.
