FINALLY Alpinas

[Hick]

Ill let the pictures talk. I found a set of REAL 16X7 Alpinas, sans hub caps on craigslist for.... $150 plus bottle caps. Dude was selling an 86 325e auto with blown transmission, stopped by on after looking at the pictures to find these:











Tires are a bit oversized, but thats no problem, they are going to get a set of cheapo all seasons or snows and work as my winter wheels.

DAMM, you stole those. I once found a set of RD 5 spokes for $100. Alpinas are a whole other level though. Great pick up.

Now get that TOOTHBRUSH out and get to scrubbin' !

Alpinas? Winter wheels? :hitler:

Great find! Looks great except for those balloons wrapped around them. Clean em and new tires and you're set. Can't wait for my 17" replicas to get here....



Oh, and 4 doors FTW.

225/45 is the ideal fitment and its perfect. It also gives good protection to the rim. :)

Looks good....I would paint the center part of the wheel black to give it a more 'Alpina' look.

Cause they are RARE.

4 door FTL!!! Thats my pops car, i traded his wheels because his tires were the worst of the 4 e30s my family own [91 318is, 89 325i, 86 325e, and 84 325e + an 88 henna]. The wheels are for my bronzit, pictured behind the red one.

EDIT: Did you miss the part where i said 16X7... not kopi's... i rocked those for about 6 months already.

no no no, not 20, but 21". Get it right or go home. My favorite part about them is the location of the valve stem...

the guy got a set of cheap rims, i think he can do what he want with them! oh yea, clean them up and those tires look like balloons.
