ANY IDEA ON PRICE GENUINE 7&8X16 ALPINA WHEELS

my mate is selling his alpina wheels on ebay, i have them at my house and want to try and get them on my 1602, trouble is i wont be able to before the auction ends and he wont end early as he has biders on them, fair enough ill bid my price and if they wont fit ill resell them, just wondering what they are worth.
not bothered at all about tyres (only 1 good anyway) the wheels could do with a refurb but are more than useable, got all the metal caps and keys.
one has a bit of a knock on the rim but would be easy to fix with a refurb and the other 3 just have the normal kerb rash nothing too bad.
any idea on value?
i guess i could put them on my 318is touring but i bought that to strip and use for the 1602

really? I've seen a couple of sets go before without kerbing as bad as that in mint condition with matching tyres before for that money

Bear in mind that these are 7s & 8s - worth more than 7s all round.

Surely someone with an '02 would be able to tell you whether they'll fit?? Might be a useful thread for you to start (in other BMW chat!) :thumb:

i think 16" alpina's will fit a 2002 with some minor alteration. I am also thinking of putting my 16" alpina's on my e21 323i but not sure as i also have a set of 15" alpina alloys for it

7j part number, 3611125
8j part number, 3611129

A mint set of 7's and 8's with legal half decent tyres are worth 6-700 all day long. You can find sets cheaper but the will need a refurb and that is around £50 per wheel from a profesional wheel refurber. Also bare in mind that these wheels like to buckle and need to be checked on a balancer or the hub of a car to see if they are straight.

there are far nicer wheels for an e30 than alpinas,got them on mine and if it wasnt an alpina i would sell them and get a nice setr of dished wheels,might well still do it if mine is needing a reshell,swap over the parts and have free licsence on the body and wheels :cool: :cool: :cool:

theres a guy on here from birmingham selling loads of stuff in the parts section, i'll PM you his number, i went to look at some skirts, they didnt suit my car but while i was there he offered me a set of alpina's, 7j fronts, 8j rears, think he wanted £400, was so tempted but cant justify it at the moment.
