    New Wheels

    I picked up some Alpina reps from a forum member here. Everything in MA is covered in salt and seeing the wheels on the car has me wishing for spring.

    Car isn't pretty to begin with but it's been in the garage for a little while being de-catted and hasn't been washed.





    And the little M42.

        Same, they're probably one of my favorite E30 wheels. Can't really go wrong with them.

              Thanks for all the compliments, I've wanted to get a set of these for a while and I couldn't be happier.

              From the same guy but he had 2 sets of wheels. Minor curbage, no bends, no salt damage, no problems with the lug holes. I can send you the pictures he sent me as proof if you would like.

              I need to get my paint and interior as up to par as yours. I was just looking at your thread, nice work.

                Yup, same guy. He had a set where the center of them was oval and not round...

                      Really nice car my friend...

                      I also like the alpinas without the caps i think they are fantastic like this and gives it a race tone.

                      Are they 17'?

                              Thank you guys. I wasn't expecting so much praise for the engine bay, considering the washer tubing is hanging off of the headlight tray. That picture was taken a week after finishing my headgasket job, I put a lot of work into getting it nice and shiny and it's nice to hear some compliments. Thanks again.
