May seem like a stupid question but;
Was reading about the new Alpina B5 in Autocar last week, and the rims look well sweet. But will todays Alpina rims fit on E30's, or is the fitment all different etc? Reckon they still got the simple, tight look of the 16" 20 spoke rims that a lot of people got on the E30's right now.
Also I cant find an Alpina website. Anyone know somewhere that sells new Alpina rims?
New Alpina's?

You can actually get these new style Alpina to fit E30 in an 18" replica wheel with stud 4x100 pcd offset ET20.
I am hoping to get some for mine, will post up if i get em.
Ԛ£600 approx.

try http://www.elite-design.co.uk/frameset3.html 1. Click on Wheels section 2. Scroll down to bottom of page, look for Alpina badge and click on it. 3. Click on big Alpina badge and there you go.
Looks to be labelled as Alpina but as posted previously general consensus is they don't make them anymore.
Some more checking would be needed but a set from here (link not the Zone!)would set you back Ԛ£230 per wheel.

Yeah man, I love the 'Classic' style. Though not for the E30 according to the size/price section? Only the 'Original' for the E30 [still nice as hell], but like iDreamBeemer said - these cant be genuine can they? As Alpina dont make them anymore? At Ԛ£223.25 a wheel, not inc tyre, they aint cheap!!!
Wonder if anyone does the 'Classics' as a rep?

it's Ronel who make these wheels, so maybe contact them?
Best way is find a straight set for as cheap as u can with caps, and get them refurbed will be as new then. This is what i did always get comments on how nice they are!
