Style 37's. Carlsberg don't make OEM fit wheels, but if they did..

[8Tech]

BBS Split Rims in 18"

Loads to choose from, but here's my personal favorites

Alpina's


MK's


M-Parallels


Hartge Classic

All his new ones are fakes though are they not? So make sure you chose from his used selection.

The replicas are clearly described as such, as are the refurbished OEM.....

Not really, for example:

Doesn't describe them clearly as replica wheels so there is a little scope for confusion. Just make sure you get genuine ones, he has plenty in his used section at pretty good prices.

Check Quarry Motors' stock too - I picked up some refurbished Style 32s for my car from them this week - £395 as opposed to the £699 which BMAutosport want for the same thing.

The key word in that ad is STYLE....

Personally I think the standard 'Turbine' alloys are the nicest ones ever to grace an 8. If I were buying an 8 I'd be hoping to get one with those wheels and looking to revert to them if someone had put something else on. Some things just don't need 'fixing'.

Are you sure you're not thinking of Throwing Stars ?
Turbines are more commonly found on base spec E39's IIRC

Agreed. If you can`t decide have 2 of each on each side of the car? A different car depending on which side you look at it!
