Colour my Alpinas

[ShakeyC]

What colour shall i paint my genuine staggered set of alpinas? its for a green estate and I was suggested painting each one a different colour, pink, yellow, red and blue with center caps in opposing multicoloured randomness

Or dark grey or black to hide the fact i rarely clean my cars

Rattle cans come out this week

[The_Diddler]

why stop at the wheels, paint each panel of the car a different colour, like VW did back in the 90's with the Polo

[Rav335uk]

Hell why stop there, do every spoke a different colour

[Simon13]

don't molest them, silver. You kill their value by painting any other colour

WTF are you on?? This lunacy has to be chemically induced.
I cannot believe you're seriously considering molesting what are probably some of the rarest, most desirable E30 wheels.
They have got to stay original.
If you really want do do something like that, buy a set of BK171s.

I think if your going to spray them, then spray them black. They look nice in black IMO

TBH, they are wheels. Wheels can easily be re-spayed to whatever colour you want, and a single colour (such as standard) is all the easier.

Alpina wheels can still be bought brand new. There are rarer alloys.

Completely off topic Rav335uk and The_Diddler. You both look seriously cheesey in your banners

[e30topless]

Silver, anything else is crazy !!

[scootlife]

What colour green is car ? Racing green spokes with silver lips wont look too bad..
They should really be silver, but defo not pink or yellow

Why thank yout Jamie, glad you like them.
The only purpose for them is for other zoners at meets will already know who we are, rather than a guessing game.

[zaust]

You have to be out of your mind to spray your o/e alpina's another colour











Oh yeah.....


ha spray away fella. I got ribbed till they were seen in the flesh. They can alway's be re-sprayed if you don't like or fancy a change.

I'm guessing you have the money to blow nearly £400 per wheel then buy the £100 each centre caps on top then?

suddenly a refurbed set in silver for £6/700 seems appealing!

Dont they both look small compared to there cars though

[d6dph]

Good job I wasn't there. It'd just have been a belly and a pair of ears near the rear wheel

[Rav335uk]

You would have been standing up Dave next to your car and still only reach the door mirror

[Felix79]

If you have a genuine staggered set and a green touring then the normal silver colour of the wheel looks the best.

If you had a white car again silver is best. Infact regardless the colour of your car the orginal rim colour looks best.

I would have thought that rainbow - painting Alpina wheels would liven up any area, let alone a housing estate

Did you know Alpina spelt backwards is Anipla which means 'oversight' in technical terms as in "that thing is has structual defect" is like saying that car is an Anipla aka wrong'un

WIKI this!

[adit]

gaszman painted the x-spokes on his touring/estate/shooting brake/station wagon ) body colour red. they looked quite smart imo, but colouring genuine Alpinas....hmmm.....no!

[Felix79]

The ones on mine are slightly different colour to orginal one but it works better with the Polaris silver.

I have to admit I think White with "ALPINA" painted in red looks stunning on black or red cars.

[ShakeyC]

lets have look please?

[Rodderz]

Mine were colour coded on my C2 when I got it..... sooooo wrong!

[Barx325i]

gun metal grey all over then using a black & decker mouse, rough sand the spoke faces and dish back to metal then laquer to finsh

despite bolloxing the wheels it would look pretty good

[Felix79]

lets have look please?

Colour coded to match Polaris Silver

[zaust]

White on Black
