98-00 wheels

Hi there. I'm a new seven'er, meaning - I just got a 95 740iL.
I'm looking for used wheels (rims)...they are the ones that come factory on the 7's. They have a "star" like configuration, with 5 prongs, each prong look like it's split into 2 lengths. This is obviously hard to explain...

My question is...where (how) can I find them on the web? I want to find a used set of 4.

Any ideas?

The rims you mentioned are......

called M Parallel Wheels. I believe they are style 32? Very Popular!

They get run staggered at 18x8 in the front and 18x 9.5 in the back.

Best tires sizes are 245/45-18 on the front and 275/40-18 in back.

They are many places to find them. The big question is, do you want to go OEM or replicas? The OEM's go for about $465 front and $495 back online.

I have the OEM's on mine. The are forged and much lighter...

Any questions email me..
