Alpina covers and locks, fitment and budget

[jimf]

Hi folks, the wheel desision saga continues,

There is a set of genuine alpinas for sale on ebay without hub covers. How much should I budget for a 2nd hand set of covers and lock and does the fitment differ between the E30 4 stud wheels and the E36/E34 etc 5 stud ones?

[ajay]

The center caps are not cheap, the 4stud and five stud are different sizes.

Ok, thanks for clearing up the sizing issue, any approx cost of 2nd hand covers with locks?

[pacerpete]

I sell caps for £25-£40 each and a new lock set will cost you £120 +

Great info there, thanks.

I was in need of locks recently as well
This come up after a google search: http://www.alloywheelsdirect.net/option ... aps_alpina
£82 for a set of locks didn't ask if include covers(probably not)
Or you can buy from this guys compleate set of caps...wich are not cheap at all - £82 for 1 cap

And this was recommended by Alpina like their Uk representativ:

As I end up with a set of letter box locks and after abit of filing, bending,.. get them locked.
But still need the lock covers wich are £50-£60

Good luck
