Depends what sort of look you want?
IMHO Azevs look the nuts, proper old skool rim. Having said that, I have a set of Hartges, which you can compare to the Alpinas. Completely different look tbh tho..

The Azevs need to be staggered to look good, ie 16 x 9's on the rear with 225 tyres.

Jesus Lee do you have these saved?? One mention of Azev and these come back to haunt me :D

As Lee mentioned above A's really need to be staggered, whereas Alpina & Hartge can be worn as a matching set, although if one wears a Tech II kit you really should be rocking a staggered set-up anyway to balance the heavy look of the rear 8)

Personally I'd say I prefer the look of the avez's, but when you have a woman like that outside your car who cares winkeye

What car are you looking to put them on? do you have a picture.
I prefer the Azev's, they look great (in 17's - which i'm informed they no longer make) and they are really easy to clean, no multi spoke madness...
