Kopi Alpina wheels

[BMWE34M5]

We were made aware of the rubbing issue and addressed it by explaining that some after market brake pads were thicker than OEM pads and this could cause some rubbing on the front wheels especially with new pads.
A very small spacer or minor grinding of the front pad backing plate edge took care of the problem.
BTW-we sold a few hundred sets of these wheels and only had 2 or 3 customers mention the rubbing issue.

To start the wheel never was intended for the e30, and when mounted the back of the wheel grinds on the front brakes. So the only "fix" for it is to either grind down the brake pads or grind down the back side of the wheel. Now after paying good money for a wheel that is supposed to fit the e30 your customers are stuck using grinding tool either fix your wheels or mod their brake pads every time they get a brake job to keep them from scraping on the wheels.

What size do you have and when did you purchase them?

17x7.5 and it was in 2008

[RedTRex]

In as well. These are just what I need for my vert. Nothing says clean vert like a set of "alpinas" and a bit of low.

I'm waiting on these for my cabrio as well......'87 with plastics, Billy Sports, H&Rs, 2.7i, and interior by Kevin.

As soon as we receive the wheels, we will first inspect them before offering them for sale.
If they meet our satisfaction, we will post them for sale on the messageboards.
