I've got a white iS an i'm getting some 15" bbs's refurbed with nogaro silber centres with polaris dish and lip. One day though i would love to have some 16" hartges! If not Borbet b's or borbet a's. Benjy's red is had 60/40 drop on borbet a's and it looked the shizzle!

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.

and lockable centre caps plus a recessed centre for the badge.

16's are the best, fit 205 x 50 x 16 on them for a better comfort ride.

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
