Thats a sweet whip man !

I agree get the split rims on !! Old school COOL !!

All you have to do is grow an 80's tash .

If you are selling those Alpinas, give us a shout.

I quite agree with you fuzzy but splitties are nice too as someone said to me Alpina's have been done to death everyone has got them. I'm looking for a set of 18" Reps if you know of anyone who has for sale

I must say - the 18" reps look pretty sweet on an E30:

This guy was so impressed with how they looked on my Zed that he went to the same dealer and bought a set straight away!

AFAIK I was the first in the UK to have the 18" reps fitted and I still have the dealers details. I'll dig them out tomorrow and PM them to you....

From what I can remember, the wheels, tyres, fitting, wheelnuts and lockers were £650!

Like I said, I'll get you the number tomorrow....

Regards for now,

Bruce.
