        Only two covers, the multi spokes were the early ones and the 5 spoke t stars were later, M system I and II to BMW. They were designed to use the Venturi effect to suck up air into the wheel weel to cool the brakes. System I supposedly works better but I like the style of the T Stars. Awesome wheels, the forged 17x8s are said to weigh about 18 pounds according to BMW. I think they lied cause the ones I have seem heavier.

          i weighed mine naked and it was 17lbs on my home scale.

          i believe the M1 uses the same wheel with a different cover as well.

            Cool, I will weigh the ones I have next time I get new tires.

            M1s came with 16 inch wheels.
