In Reply to: OE Throwing Star vs. M-parallel...(m) posted by George Mann on January 02, 2002 at 07:17:34:

They were only available on the 93 M5's and even rarer 850CSI's.. the M-parallels are more common particularly since they're standard on the 740i sports, and 18 inch tires wear out quicker, and subject to more abuse going over bumps than 17 inch wheels are..


opinions please. Am considering both of these wheel combinations...staggered in either case. Believe costs will be similar..perhaps slightly less for the Throwing Stars due to tire cost.
Which wheel is preferred?..Like the one piece construction
of the M-parallels however any discernible difference in ride quality due to the shorter side wall of the 18" M-parallel's?
Best place to purchase?
Thanks for your input,
George
