WTB in NC: 4x100 Alpina replicas, euroweaves, or other interesting period wheels

[tommott77]

Looking for some wheels for my touring. Just picked her up and brought home and found that stock bottle/tire combo isn't tracking straight. Things like motor swaps will be in her near future and I'd prefer to spend money on the 'right' wheels from the onset as opposed to throw tires if at all possible. Really looking to score some Alpina reps (OZ, Kopi, ect) or euro weaves. Will also consider any other similar period correct wheel. Need 4x100 and would prefer 15x7 as my optimal size for a period correct look...can't and won't be too picky in this regard. Something with good tires a definite plus.

I'm located in Wilmington, NC on the east coast. Of course willing to pay for shipping. Also potentially willing to travel a bit to pick up the right wheels....maybe around 400 miles or so, something that can pulled off in a day trip.

Let me know what you got, Thanks!

I have a set of stock 14" BBS basket weaves in Cary, NC (near Raleigh) that would be willing to sell.

Nice looking car Tom.

Are you sure it's the wheels that are causing the tracking issue ? I can think of a few other potential causes.

Was ideally looking for something a bit bigger than the stock sizes, an S52 swap may be on the horizon, but that may be a good fall back option if I can't come up with anything. Can you message me the particulars; price, condition, tires, ect?

Thanks! it's got about a 10' paint job on it, interior is super nice though. LHD which I was holding out for, 5 speed, but a mehhh M20b20 . Hence the idea to go for a swap. Considering a M20 stroker or S52 at the moment. Contemplating letting go of a couple of my other bimmers to focus on this car to make it really nice.

Pretty sure it is the wheels tires. Had the car aligned, the backend was nice and straight. No brakes are hanging up. After rotating the wheels from side to side the pull switched sides.

I had a pull with a brand new set of contis on my bbs rks. My old world mechanic did a side to side swap with the front wheels and solved the problem. Seems there's X # of tires that come out of the mold with a rotational bias and a sometimes changing position or direction can neutralize it.

May not apply to you of course, but def food for thought before you start replacing things.
