Picked up my Tstars
So I finally picked up my Tstars which were being stored at a friend's place of the guy I bought the car off last April. While I LOVE these wheels I'm not a fan of them combined with my silver car, too bland. My plan is to paint the covers in the same colour as the side rockers and front/back lip. Diamondswarz or something I think it's called? They are the narrower 8's all around. I'd really like a pair of the wider 9's in back but I'm having trouble finding any for sale. Other than ebay and the wanted sections of forums is there anywhere else you guys look for things like this? I haven't bothered with German ebay so far seeing as shipping would be straight silly.

Cheers,

N

Hmm, of course it is a matter of personal preference, but I have always considered the Silver E34 M5 to look the best with the T Stars. I would say go for the granitsilber covers. That would be a sweet and slightly more hardcore look.

9" T-Stars
Try http://www.euromcars.com/

Email the guy even if there are none for sale on the web. He often has some that he does not put on the web. I believe he has a set of 9's for sale at the moment (they just might not be up on the web).
