16 inch 7J alpina's... They have arrived!

[Ajsingh]

Just a quick one, iv been offered a set of mint alloys with caps. Fully refurbed and super mint

All for £500..

Worth it?

(no tyres)

[Rav335uk]

Yes, as long as they aren't buckled.

[ajay]

What ! definatly NOT pm me the sellers number and ill tell him!! LOL.

[bss325i]

Price up a new set! Yes they are worth it if described.

[adit]

a new set!!
this is E30 zone remember Barry, it HAS to be new, just donkey's years old "1/10 of the price brand new"

yes, definitely worth it Aj

[capri_rob]

There was a set fully refurbed with caps that looked stunning on Ebay last week which finished at £520 without meeting the reserve

So yes £500 would seem a bargain

[Ajsingh]

Rob they are the ones. I had bidded up to £510. And now they person who bidded at £520 has pulled up, thus giving me an offer.

[Rav335uk]

[kieran325]

The seller is on here.

[Ajsingh]

Sold to me.

[capri_rob]

Sold to me.

Nice. Now just another £320 or so for a decent set of quality tyres and you'll be set

[sweep]

Whats a staggered set worth then?

[capri_rob]

I really want a set of these - still got my eye on Adit's set but just can't stretch to it at present

[adit]

make me an offer Rob, as i have mislaid a lock (took it out to remove a snapped key, and "put it somewhere safe" )

[Ajsingh]

Sold to me.

Nice. Now just another £320 or so for a decent set of quality tyres and you'll be set

One of my best mates owns a tyre shop and i lent him £100 a while back... Now he can repay me ;) lol

[Rav335uk]

Befoe you ask, you'll need 205/50/16's

[Ajsingh]

Lol.i was about to ask!

Recommened a decent make too mr 335?

Iv got pirelli's all round on my 15s on the 2.7 & the sport. Spare set of alpina reps have almost worn out michelins.

[mrLEE30]

i have P-zeros on my BBS - 205/45/16 and they are a bit too skinny 50 look better, but they do grip well in the dry...never seen wet roads so cannot comment on those

[verde]

il probably get rid of the alpinas coming with my 316 if anyone is needing a set. will get pictures when the car arrives.

[Rav335uk]

As per Mr Lee's advice, i was running P-zeros all round, infact, the Alpinas I sold were on sale here a few weeks ago, and I recognised them because of the tyres .

[Ajsingh]

I actually wanted a set of hartge's but they are like goldust... Anyone fancy a swap? Lol

[adit]

do a five stud conversion and you can have mine Aj......well, when i say "have".....

although i think i am going to buy an M3 as i'm fed up with the Hartges collecting dust

[Ajsingh]

Can i please ask people who have pics of the 16 inch alpina wheels to post a few pics of the wheels on cars please.
Im deciding what tyres to get and would like to see what people have run, are running and how they look

Its really very much appreciated

Thank you

Aj

[kieran325]

Hmmmmm.......

Give me a few minutes......

[Rav335uk]

[kieran325]

[Rav335uk]

He asked for a 7j set, not staggered

[Ajsingh]

Nice!!!

Thanks rav and kieran!

What tyre size are u running kieran?

I know Rav is on 205 50 16

I just thought 50 profile maybe a bit too much or do they look better with 50 profile?

[kieran325]

Testing ya Rav

The front one is.



I think I might have a set somewhere

[Ajsingh]

Staggered ones look the sh*t!

[Rav335uk]

Kieran, i'm not starting that.

Ajay, as I said, 205/50/16's all round, on 8j's it's 225/45/16's

Rolling radius is the same, so speedo will read right.

EDIT, OI!! you ojnly have 1 spare set left!

[Ajsingh]

Ok 205 50s it is. So i shoudn't put 205 45s? I just dont want a huge sidewall... Im being silly i know but that 5mm makes a differance lol

[Rav335uk]

That's the recommended sizes for all round tyre performance for a 16" wheel on the E30.

#YOU can , however, put any tyre size on you wish.

BUT, Alpina and Hartge could be wrong

[bss325i]

NO! 205/45's and 225/40's look shit!
