16" alpinas. best offset question

[Jand3rson]

I've never been more excited about a set of wheels than I am for these. I REALLY hope this happens.

[straight6pwr]

wow 16x8 alpina reps! do want!

[u3b3rg33k]

Woah. Woah. 16" Alpinas? You have my attention, sir.

Waiting..

hoops are in and first set is underway. The price should be very close to 1000/1100 with painted center and polished lip. Also u can get a full polish for 200 extra. The first set is 16x8 et20 and et5 with brilliant silver center/polished lip. Should be finished within 2 weeks from today..

Is this a 1000 GBP or a 1000 dollars? Big difference. I see live in Lexington Where?

Also you might want phrase away from the name to protect yourself from copyright infringement.

Looking forward to pictures.

I would love a set for my ix or, the throwing star reps, both would be sweet.

[LivingLegend06]

I will be coming back to this thread in 2 weeks time.

[ian e30 318is]

Damn I just saw this!!! In for Pics! I am super interested in a set in the near future

Would anyone be interested in M-systems T-star reps in a 17 inch 4 lug? I'm sure it might be feasible but we need to generate interest first. The only thing coming close is the 16 inch Alpha M5S which are NLA.

Lets see what happens with the alpinas but now would be the time to ask. Thank you.

That would be awesome! Especially if you did it so that all of the wheels point the same direction. On the other replicas two go the correct direction and two go the incorrect direction.

wouldnt that be easily fixed by swapping the side of the car the wheel is on?

...

Pabl0 what other kinds of wheels can you get made? or what about making centers for a 3 piece wheel so barrels can be added later? and of course at what cost to us?

[Pabl0]

^^^ anything. I have a buddy who wants centers made for some 18" works and another for 16" rs's. My goal is to make good quality hardware at a working mans price. I dont need to support myself off others, i have a job. Just looking to do some things in the euro scene beyond what i have been and maybe make a few dollars along the way. Ball park price on 16 centers would be 900/1400 depending on finish which can be anything from powder to chrome. I know its a wide range but its a ballpark and chrome can be pricey. Even cheaper if it was a popular design since the program fee ($200) could be spread out thru a few sets instead of just one guy eating it. Also for those skilled enough with cad you could design your own to spec and save the cash. So basically one off custom....900 or 10 sets for 725

No becuase, from what I have read, BMW used two molds for the throwing star caps, whil the replicas are from the same mold.
These are replicas, all of the points go the same direction.



See how on these, the real ones, the points on two of the wheels go a different direction?

Very interested to see what comes of this...
