A set of three Kopi's?

[woodisgood]

So I found a set of 16" Kopi Alpinas for sale locally for a steal... I was planning on picking them up tomorrow but now the guy says his roommate has misplaced one of the wheels...WTF, how do you lose a wheel?...he now wants to know if I am interested in only three wheels. I am having trouble finding any information about these on the web. Do they even sell 16's anymore or did they ever? Is this guy full of it? Why can't I find these on the net? What the hell is a Kopi anyway, a manufacturer or some cute play on words for copy? Yes I am an idiot and I don't know sh*t about wheels but I really like the look of these and I can't beat the price even if I was to buy one new one to make a set...if thats even possible..

Any information about these would be helpful, thanks guys.

4 16" Alpina Wheel knockoffs. They do have tires on them 225 45/16 with very little tread left. The bolt pattern according to the previous owner is 4x100. It should fit many other cars.

Asking $200.....................They look brand new...........................

I guess they dont make 16's any more. You might want to pm him.

[woodisgood]

Yeah, thats all I could find too......was Kopi the only manufacturer to make these?

[e30s52]

Yes. I would still get them.

[kronus]

go there and help him search for them.

Soooo, did kopi ever make a 16" REP? If these are in fact 16" is it possible that they are real Alpina's?

lol even if it was 3 17 inch or 15 inch kopis for $200 i'd be all over them, and i can't even use them for myself.

can we get an alpina expert in here to do a spoke count plz?

[EightiesBaby]

im guessing this is the guy from CL, he never could confirm with me about the wheels either. Good luck

There were no 16" made from Kopi AFAIK. They should be the genuine article, unless there exist other reproductions.

i'm waiting for woodisgood to come back here and be like

"HAHAHAHA I JUST GOT 3 REAL ALPINAS SUCKERS!...... *cough* anyone have a 4th plz?"
