does anybody know if you can still buy Hartge and Alpina wheels new from Birds and Sytners?

if they do does anybody know a price for a set of Hartge 16" wheels and a price for a set of Alpina wheels?

if they dont do them new ill just have to keep and eye open for a set, and if they do sell them i get a feeling they are gonna be very expensive.

im not sure about the hartge wheels, but i know for a fact that the Alpina's on E30s were off production many years ago, this is why they are so rare. If they were still in production you wouldn't have so many people buying the reps! The original alpinas are personally my favourite wheel and if you are willing to spend around £600, keep an eye out on Ebay etc...

£600 is not a lot for a decent set of wheels.

like you say £600 is not alot for a decent set of wheels, i was expecting people to say yes they are still avaliable and they are 1500 or something like that.

ill just keep hunting ebay for some hartge 16" wheels or on here.

A genuine set of 16" Alpina Wheels direct from BMW are approx £1100 EX VAT and excluding tyres. You don't need to goto to Sytners for them either. They are currently available. As for the Hartge, there's more chance of you finding Lord Lucan than obtaining a set of these. :wink:

Hi Ajay
I enquired not so long ago, but the price put me off a little. If I remember the correct set-up was 7.5 x 16 front and 8x16 rears. Beautuful rims though. One of the best out there for the E30

:D :mad: :D , i think the original alpinas are the perfect wheels for any E30, my cousin had them on one of his sports and it really makes a difference seeing them in the flesh, the wider setup at the back works very nicely... not too long ago i saw a set of original alpinas with tyres go for £650 on german ebay, i was so tempted!
