If I had purchased a set of those and thats what showed up I'd deny the charge on my credit card in a heart beat.
    I dont know how they were 6 years ago, or whether thier quality went down hill. But I agree with you, that if I paid 700+ for a set like that! I would return that thing in a heartbeat.

    They kind of look wierd from the picture, I guess they could be countered. Hubcentricness of these wheel was a big selling point for me. I dont like the rings, well lets make that more clear. If I had to use rings I wouldnt paid that much per wheel. Cause its no different than any of the borbets or TSWs or any aftermarket that requires rings.

    Any chance the 16s are more 4x100 e30 friendly? or are they also the same fitment? If they are order for 57.1 like Mel said they had in the past (or is that also present), I would still be interested in these wheels.

    You don't have a clue what you're talking about.
    Our Kopi wheels are made exactly the way they were made over 5 years ago when we started selling them.
    Again-the lug holes are not drilled - the wheels are cast with either 4 or 5 holes.
    I would like to see your pictures of the "old" Kopi wheels vs. the "new" Kopi wheels.They are made the same way and in the same factory as the wheels of 5 years ago.
    The only difference is the hub diameter - we ordered them with a 67mm hub diameter so that they can be applied to other vehicles and not only the E30 with a 57.1mm hub diameter.
    We supply the hubcentric rings at no charge to anyone that wants them.
    You are unqualified to make the statements you made - you don't even have a set of the Kopi wheels.
    Why don't you take your frustation out someplace else!

    Don't know why you're calling them crap - we've sold them for almost 6 years with no problems.
    The wheels come in 4 lug and 5 lug and are not drilled but cast for each application.
    The hubcentric rings matter has been addressed.

    Kopi wheels

    The wheels are not made for 5 lugs - the indentations have nothing to do with the number of lugs the wheels have.
    In fact the indentations do not line up with the lug holes - they are designed that way.
    There are 4 lug wheels and 5 lug wheels.
    The center caps cover the lug nuts - they are not pictured above.
    We supply the hubcentric rings at no charge if required.

    not my thread, but found on bimmer forum about the Kopis. Anyone else had the same exact problem? Mel? anyone?

    Is that what they look like in the hub? are they all like, they are made for 5 lugs with those indentation?

    Also look at the center of the nut, then look at the center of the wheel. I didn't order any, so maybe I should shut my trap.

    if you open that picture with a little shading you'll see it's imprinted 17x7.5 -- dunno about your new pic, you changed it.

    Kopi wheels

    The 16" size is a new size being added to our lineup for 2008.
    We should receive our first shipment late Jan. early Feb. (Group Buy) as they only go into production in mid. January.
    They will be priced somewhere between the 15" and 17" Kopi wheels.

    so is 16" alpinas kopis a regular thing that you will sell now? Or is it only with group buy? I dont see it listed on your site for the 16s. Just wondering, cause I would probably be in the next group buy for the 16 around next spring or summer.
