I picked up a set of OE M-pars for 450 bucks! They are 18x8 and 18x9.5

Where can I get a replacement center cap? One of them is missing.

Dealership if you need it now, BMA certainly sells them as well.

Ask for Patrick or Yves.

Chromed? They replicas? Or did someone actually chrome an OEM set?

Decent price on a set of E38 M-Pars. I've seen sets for that price once in a while, but they go quick at that price. Not that it matters, but the offset and widths are a bit different on E34 & E38 M-Pars. E34 fronts are 8 x 18 ET20, E38 are 8 x 18 ET13. E34 rears are 9 x 18 ET22, E38 is 9 1/2 x 18 ET25. And the E34 M-Pars are different color than the E38 M-Pars.

Like I've said, it doesn't matter much as the E38 M-Pars fit the E34 just fine. And I doubt anyone ever notices that they're slightly different color. But honestly, who is the US has ever seen a real E34 M-Par? There's only a few Euro M5's that were brought over here with M-Pars. There's an M540 or two in the US that has them. A local to me M-Sport owner bought a set of new ones for his car (and that's the only set of E34 M-Pars I've ever seen). And there's an importer down in Cali that's sold a few sets that I'm aware of.

They chromed a factory set. I would rather they not be chromed, but for the money im not going to complain. Trying to find anything BMW in Memphis is hard enough. Im going to put them on my 530it.
