[Alpina]

Guys

I managed to get my hands on a set of original 16" alpina's narrow and wides...

What you guys think?



The rear 7.5J

Really good looking

Thanks Alpina...

So is the vote for the alpina's or the 17's?

Very clean car, and welcome to the forums.
I really do like the black bumpers...it seems that most E30's I have seen here in the states comes with color coded 'facelifted' bumpers. They look very fitting in black...very OEM.

Those wheels also look very nice.
Keep it going!

Looking good and the alpina rims look great on it.

The rear 7.5J or is it 8J?

The front wheel looks 7.5" and the rear looks like its 8" wide. Looks real nice though.

Ok... What you guys think of GOLD BBS RS style wheels in 16"?

Should i go for them?

[CleanAzzE30z]

I like it. I also like the contrast that the bumpers provide. Its how every single E30 in Europe that I saw had. 'Cept Mikes and Euro3's. ;) Those Alpinas look legendary. And are your wheels 4 lug? Cuz I havent seen them that wide in 4 lug?

Thanks CleanAzzE30z

I actually bought the wheels like that... The PO had the rear lips extented about half an inch... I think it looks good... Fills up the rear better...

But, im in two minds about the alpina's though... Im looking at the BBS RS style wheels in Gold...

I dont know how it would contrast with the white though...

Any suggestions?

[Philipangoo]

wow Shaheenem your car looks very very good. It pulls off the Alpina wheels very well and maybe its because of that extended rear lip. The rear looks very sick.

BBS Rs will always look right at home on a E30, but those Alpinas look nice. How wide are the BBS.

[alpinaclone]

The Alpina's came 7" in the front and 8" in the rear stock. I really doubt that those have been widened.

Nice looking car, I say keep the Alpinas.

Gold weave-style multi-piece rims always look good on Alpinweiss. Look at the works DTM ///M3s!

I like it. So...aren't the African E30s the ones that got the actual OEM black carpet? Or is that a myth?

Does JHB stand for Johannesburg? I took African Studies here and it was about the history of South Africa. Some of the class did the South African study abroad after the class, they went to Johannesburg and to Soweto...I was excited until they said $7000 and I definately couldn't afford it.
