How much should I be looking to spend on Alpinas?

[smithy318i]

New replicas with tyres are around Ԛ£425 delivered but i dont want to spend anywhere near that much.

Would be very interested to see what my options were too

Anything upto Ԛ£1500 for originals in perfect condition, ones in poor condition for around Ԛ£500 and copies from Ԛ£300 too Ԛ£600.

Replicas are 17 x 7" and originals are 16 x 7.5 inch front and 16" x 8 inch rear. Originals have 20 spokes, replicas have 19.
Replicas can suffer from judder if not fitted with good shims hence there are quite a few ads about for S/H ones.
15" x 7.5 BMW cross spokes are probably the best for everyday ride and handling in my opinion although I keep my Alpinas on just 'cos they look so damn good!
