You should pay whatever you feel is necessary. Supply and demand. Set yourself a limit and stick with it. Depends on if you can wait for the wheels at the right price or if you deperately need them.

I dont really know much about what they are worth but i wouldnt want to pay more than 300 for those.

think they are all 7" wide though,think they should be 2x8" and 2x7"

Nah, a lot have the 7" width all round. £300 does feel about right.

Hopefully they will keep their value too, seeing as they are straight (i.e not buckled) and are not burger king specials...

£300 for a set of 7's is about right but make sure they aren't buckled otherwise they are worthless and unrepairable.

Looks like it needs a refurb.

Pretty sure the valve should be behind the centre cap,one of the spokes is hollow,could be wrong but i would double check,caps look original the cap removal plug looks right

Thanks for the input guys. If they are real shoudl "alpina" be cast into the? along with serial numbers? Also should the centre caps have the same sort of ID. Cheers.

Thanks. Would that be pretty certain proof of authenticity or do you get fakes which have that too?

A genuine 16" Alpina wheel.
Lip on rim, external valve and "ALPINA" in raised lettering behind the centre cap.
Hope the ones you have bought aren't buckled.

Cool, he took loads of pics for me so im 100% they are pukka. As for buckling...he assured me they arnt and they have been on his car and are all in balance. In fairness he seems genuine and has been straight as you can ask for. Guess we'll see....

i saw these a few days ago, but i could not arrange to go collect them or check them out so i left getting them. Hopefully none of the alloys are buckled.

Just been looking at new tyres (id want to replace for peace of mind regardless of whats on there) anyway....ive found some ditch finders for under £32!!! how much fun would they be in the wet

If they turn out not to be buckled when the turn up you got a bargain!

Update- Fitted them to the car (not permanantly as i want to refurb them all and put new tyres on..so im going to use up the acres of tread on my 14" in the meantime) and after a few miles of varying road there are no issues ive done twisty stuff, A roads and a motorway blast....not a hint of wobble at any speed im well chuffed
oh and the handling feels waaaaaaaaay better...
