BBS RS/RM handling compared to RZ's & BK's + pricing up?

[jimf]

Hi folks, I've been trying to decide what wheels to replace my 17" Alpina replica wheels with. Everyone says these ruin the handling. I agree they are rather heavy but to be honest the car feels ok to me, then I've nothing to compare with.

I've had a look at the wiki wheel page and ideally I would like to replace with Genuine Alpinas but prices are outwith my reach I reckon. Standard 15" BBS are an option but a bit bland. I wondering how the BBS RS and RM wheels compare with regards to handling to the standard version.

What sizes can these wheels come in and how much should I budget for a set of each?

How much are genuine alpina wheels worth now if genuine BBS RSs are a more cost effective option??

I reckon a good set of 16" alpinas with budget legal tyres are about £1000, how much are the RS's worth?

RS in e30 fitment without tyres will be £1500+ easily.

Ha ha, I had no idea, scratch them off the list then! What about RS's? Maybe I'll just get standard bbs and save for the alpinas

A good set of BBS RM's will set you back about 7/800 quid (without tyres) for a 15x8j pair and a 15x9j set. They'd be looooovely!

Or how about a nice set of 15" OZ Turbos?

you can always go for the RS reps for around £400 + tyres
