I have NEVER seen another set of these in 5 lug, and only saw a set in four lug once for an e30, I offered to buy them for my e30 but he wasn't having it :cry:

I'm wheel-ignorant, help me understand...

Post by briansmith »

...so the ad says they are replicas.
they're probably heavier.
any other detractions?
$400 for a set of 16"x7.5" curb-rashed but semi-presentable wheels known to fit without spacers sounds like a worthwhile venture if you have the money and need some.

Maybe I just don't know how little a set of genuine throwing stars with curb rash are worth.

I had a set in 17". Bought 'em with tires for short money, sold them pretty quickly (to an E34 owner) for twice what I paid. Very heavy and not right-left designed so one side will be "backwards".

Ouch. Just leave the guy alone. The market will decide what they're worth.

I think they look pretty sweet man. Why do you have to bash these wheels so bad? They definitely don't suck big time, and that was a harsh statement.

Harsh man, I like the wheels a lot actually and wouldn't be selling them if I didn't have to fund the refinishing of my borbets. :roll:

I think he was suggesting that he wanted them for $150, and that the "suck big time" and "scrap" were sarcasm....

Christopher's right, I was being honest. Don't take what I say personaly, I'm a wheel fanatic and these just don't suite the body style of an e12/e28, I have had about 20 different sets of wheels on my cars and am rarely happy with the look for very long, sorry if I upset anyone, people give me crap about my wheel habit all the time, I just bought a staggered set of 18" bbs rx 2's today. Ps. I've had many rude comments about my car on this board, but who cares, everyone is intitled to they're opinion :bawl:

Thats definitely the first time I've heard someone say that throwing stars don't look good on an e28. I'd buy them if they were on this coast.

I love the real ///M e34 17" staggered throwing stars, I had a set of them on my '75 530i, I just don't like the 16" knock offs that are not directional side to side, they just don't look right to me, the car should look the same left to right.

What's funny is that Porsche and Volvo (just to name a couple) didn't offer their throwing-star-like wheels as a directional wheel. I thought that was pretty stupid.

I had a '65 911 with 18" turbo twist wheels, that where non-directional, they only looked good from one side, I sold the car because of that, they're not as easy to get cool wheels for as bimmers are. STUPID INDEED :down:

A '65 SWB 911 w/ 18" wheels? That's just wrong no matter which way the twists are facing. :bawl:
