Pic Request 15in Alpinas

[TooTall90]

i have searched up and down this site for a picture of 15" alpinas with the center caps and found nothing. i know a fellow board member is selling a set but they are the older 2002 version w/o the centercaps and they are painted black.
it would be great if somoeone can find a pic of 15" Kopi Alpina Reps with center caps mounted on an e30, since i was thinking of buying a set myself next time the group buy comes around.

thanks

i'm not sure if anyone has bought the 15's since they are 15x6.5.

if they were 15x7 i'd probably save up for a set

[TooTall90]

I like those, if you find out what size they are let us know!

[Wh33lhop]

Yeah, those do look great. Maybe 15x7-7.5?

can you really tell the difference from that angle? i doubt it. you can still fit 205/55-15's on 15x6.5's.

While those do look good, they look like 15". The period correct Alpina wheel that fits right on (to a 5-lug e30) is the 16" shown here. It switched from the Open-Lug (Black center with no centercap) 15" wheel to the 16" with center cap wheels in 1983/84

^^ what he said, 15" only in open lugs as far as I know.

I think the wheels in the picture of that silver e30 are knock-off's. It may be the angle, but the centercaps seem huge! If those are 15", then they are knock-off's, otherwise, those are 16" genuine.

[Wh33lhop]

Shit, if they're knockoffs then point me in the direction of where you can buy 'em. Those look awesome.
