having just recently purchased a 325 touring i have been on the hunt for some replacement alloys ideally original alpinas
anyhows after looking about im now trying to justify spending silly money for originals lol, and just to let you no, if you dont already no you can now buy them new with the 8j rears from a certain website not sure if im allowed to post it up and they are the real deal but they are now made by borbet not ronal i believe, trouble is can i justify £1293 without tyres its a lot of doh :?

why dont you look around, you should be able to pick up a set of genuine alpinas for around £5-600........... If you dont want to do that then for the time being get 17" reps.........

well i was bidding on some genuine's that were on e bay but they went for a grand, think he was bidding them up, cant see anyone paying a grand for secondhand though you never no ?
was thinking the replica route but not sure i want 17's trouble is the purchase of the car was ment to be purely for fishing but as so happens i ended up buying a nicer example than was ment to, ah well lol but dont worry it wont be coverd in fish slime it will be a pamperd fishing car lol :roll:
did see those replica bbs alloys in the parts section dont look to bad ........ not sure what to do tbh

Alpina's can make very strong money espcally if they are a staggered set.

I wouldn't go for the Reps, hold out for the real deal. There was someone on here selling a mint set with tyres for £650. I think they were genuine. Have a look through the For Sale section, they might still be available.

i sold a genuine set of ebay for 200 quid - admittedly they were square and in need of a refurb but then that sale netted me 75% of the cost I paid for the car they came on so not too bad.
