    not sure if this seller/alpina kopi has been mentioned before on this forum:


    just saw these on ebay- look nice enough. anybody know about this seller- says they are Rota manufactured- i am assuming they are different then the ones Mel is offering?


    BTW Mr. Anderson is there a pictoral basketweave history thread, both good and bad?

      It ain't official but they're pretty easy to bend and bust up. Aren't they $250 a set or something ridiculous?
      I havent seen any cheaper than (new mind you) for 150 a wheel. On ebay they are 720 or so for a set. I wouldn't say thats to cheap.

      I'd get andersons remembers before I bought those however.

          Out of curiosity, what is so bad about these wheels? I've never had an issue with them, and most of the people I've met at SCCA or BMWCCA meets seem to think they are stock. Granted, I've seen them on a few e30s and they can look like crap, but I don't think mine are too bad. (new paint for the valence coming soon lol). For the record, I didn't buy these wheels. I probably would have gone with ronals.

                        I know, but they arent that close, with lips and 8 bolt holes

                        thats why i said "not exactly"

                          I really like the 2nd wheel. What do they go for? I would love to find a used set of them.

                          Thanks for sharing.

                            do they make a replica ronal turbo wheel, or the old School OZ rally wheels?

                              Got another to add to the list-racing hart C4 reps. I have no idea where to get them, but I'd like to pick some up eventually. Here's a thread with some pics:http://www.r3vlimited.com/board/showthread.php?t=113000
