What wheels are these on the M8 ?
Are they available?
What would be the closest replica?
Cheers

Perhaps "throwing stars" without covers!?
Better Picture from the side of the Car:

It is not my taste

Yeah I'd say throwing stars (aka M-system II) without the covers. They're fitted as standard to 850CSi and 840Ci Sport. Only available in 17 inch though.

I agree they are definitely Throwing stars, check this link :

I will be listinng my set (click on my avatar for more pics) on Ebay in the coming week or so as I have replacements at the ready - a treat for when the car comes back from suspension surgery
They are in excellent condition, and totally original. The CSI also featured these wheels as standard in later years.
If anyone is interested and wants to make me a sensible offer before I list them then please PM me. I should say that I do have a reserve price in mind though, I dont want to 'give them away'. This is mainly due to the fact that I have just bought two new tyres for the rears (less than 500 miles ago), and the fronts are only a third through their original tread depth.
I can and would ship overseas, and this would be arranged by my company's trusted import/export agents.
Thought I'd give you guys the chance first before offering them to Ebay's 'great unwashed'

Do me a favour - can you measure the depth of the dish,
ie from the outer rim to the inside, I really like the depth of the M8 rims.
The nearest I have seen are Terry's ...what are they Terry ?
I will then compare with my M Parallels (18")On another topic:
By the way if anyone knows of a set of 9" Fuchs for my P-Car please let me know Ive now got 7" and 8"s
Cheers -
Hi, the fronts are dished about 48mm and the rears are 63mm. Hope that helps,
Tony

Without going downstairs to re-measure, I think I have about 3" (76 mm) lips on my wheels.

Thanks chaps
Thanks chaps
Very kind
The MP's are (from the spoke) 1.5 inch deep Front and 2 inches deep in the Rear.
Thanks allot -
Hi every one.
The M8 wheels look good but do not like the black centre spokes.
Has any one removed throwing stars and repainted all silver?
If so have you any pictures, i ask this as i have my wheels off waiting to be refurbished and would consider loosing the throwing stars if it looked okay and there was no detrimental effect to braking.Regards
