A choice between genuine and copies, personally, I would always go for the genuine option...

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.

The copies have indentations for the badges!! on the photo it looks like the badge has come off the wheel suggesting it wasn't stuck very well (i could be wrong, just looks missing) which would also suggest replica. Easiest way is to have a look at the back of a wheel!! the replicas don't have BMW stamped in the back do they? -------------

Those wheels on ebay look like replicas as they look like one piece.
I have seen them advertised in old BMW mags but can't remember who made them. I think that they stopped making them for legal reasons. I'm almost certain that all 8 series CSi throwing star alloys are 3 piece with 8J fronts and 9J rears. ------------- Nick |

I remember now - they were called Alpha M5S as I tried to locate a
supplier to be told they had stopped making them. They were definitely one piece and all one size which made them cheaper to make I guess. The ones for '£750' are genuine BMW but check if E31 or E34. ------------- Nick |

Well I think he's cobbled a set together out of many!! he has 5 for sale on there. the fact they have two WRONG covers is a bit disappointing, as they'll be £75 +VAT each from BMW and might not even match the colour of the wheels/other caps! -------------

Ah!! see what you mean!! but it looks like the Alpha M5s are a different shape!! seem like thinner spokes!! Supposedly you could still get them in Europe but stopped selling them in the US They do look daft though. as one side of the car they point forwards and the other side points backwards!!

Wheels designed to fit the E39 (and probably the E65 as well) have a hub centre bore diameter of 74.1mm.
You might have to have to fit converter rings to the alloys to bring them down to the E34's hub diameter of 72.5mm. -------------

the fountain of all knowledge (E34 website) shows 19"s as being an option, but say the tyres should be 275 30 and 245 35 how much bigger is a 40 and 45 ? this is surely going to knock the speedo out, and tyres alone are going to be £1000 if i need to change!! is it doesn't knock the speedo out too much and they don't rub i'll be happy, but any advice how much by? not sure how you work out tyre size! jeeeeeeesus, why did i go for 19"s??? i suppose they were available!!! -------------

275 40 is 10% larger than your original wheels and 245 45 is 9.5% larger. You will kill the acceleration of your car but the top speed will be higher... Ideal tyre size for 19" wheels is 245 35 19 front and 265 30 19 rears (not even sure 275's would fit without wheelarch modification) Miles -------------

Not sure if these are OE M5 alloys as they are appear polished.
At 8.5x18 they could be 7 series wheels. Worth a bid though as they fill the arches better on an E34 IMO. Just check if they are OE or repro. http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll? ViewItem&category=72255&item=7948125038&rd=1  ------------- Nick |

They are replicas as they do not have the indent for the ///M badge...

Already bidding on these too!! Nothing escapes me Miles, It's not too clear a pic but i can't see the indent!! all the other M Parallel replicas i've seen do actually have the indent though!

IMHO, they wouldent look right on an e34 anyway as the e34 ones were painted and not polished. ------------- Regards Jimmy 98 528se Tourer 97 328 Sport 97 3.2 saloon 88 B10 # 77 85 B9 86 M5 3.6 http:\\www.e28club.com - www.e28club.com |

Bid up to £760 and still reserve not met - and carriage is £70 on top of
that. Add £500 for 4 decent tyres and it's a lot of dough. Wish I'd kept my set now - doh! ------------- Nick |
