Hi guys,

As some of ya know, this is the replica rim of the old M5. It's called the Throwing Star. It is made by Alpha and model name is M5S. Tirerack use to carry them until BMW told them to stop selling the replica rims. I know that they still have them in Europe. But, does anyone have a source for them in the States? If not, can someone put a group purchase for those who are interested? Maybe there are ppl who are interested in these rims. They are 17x8 with 36-38 offset, I forgot how much. But, fits 3 series no problems at all.

Here's a pic of it. The link is:

What do ya guys think of this rim? Oh, this is Jason Leung's car, a 325i with 3.2L conversion and AA Stage 2+/3 Turbo kit. I got this picture from AA website a long time ago. Hey Jason, if you're reading this, sorri, just borrowing your picture. Tks.

Thanks,
