They look almost like real Alpinas! Much better than the usual BK reps that's for sure. Some nice centre caps and they will look spot on. Well done sir.

Origional Alpinas are made by Ronal and have it stamped both Alpina on the front face and Ronal on the rear, yours unfortunatly are reps not origionals. :cool: and lockable centre caps plus a recessed centre for the badge.

i had some on my bk reps and they were good quality, you will need to measure yours etc as there is no indent for the badge

http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/fits-bmw-ALPINA-A ... 240%3A1318

there are different sizes etc, i think thats about the size of the proper ones

:D
