17" M-Parallels... Do they exist?

[pundit]

I recall someone on this forum mentioning 17" M-Parallels. Do they in fact exist? I thought M-Parallels only came in 18"s. I think 17"s may suit an E34 better even apart from the ride quality.

I'm not aware of any in 17's, but I could be corrected. I didn't think you could get any after market ///M parallels in Aus but you proved that to be possible. I don't mind 17" wheels on my car.

Hi Phil,
I'm fairly new to this E34 thing. I just picked mine up on New Years day!
I think the M-Parallels look the best out of anything I've seen. I'll check with the company that sells the replicas here in Melbourne and see if they are available in 17"s. They direct import these themselves so it might be possible to place a special order if the factory actually make a 17" version... but somehow I'd be surprised if they do, but you never know.

I'm heading up to Sydney in late March to visit family and friends. I might look you up and compare E34's if that's okay. Let me know.

Cheers Pundit.

They were made by BMW for use on the Canadian M540. They are a very rare wheel and very expensive. From an aftermarket perspective the only ones I have seen are 18"

There are a ton of BMW's here that have 17" M-Parallels, even quite a few e36's. I think that they were actually an option on the cars here, as the wheels have the ///M badge on them.
