Refurbed Alpinas

[kieran325]

I bought these a while ago and left them in the garage for a while, I then decided to buy a new set from the dealer but it came to light that these are NLA

In the meantime I decided to put an advert up in the for sale section for the rims, that day was the day I was told the staggered set were NLA, I had to pull the ad and get them furbed for my own set for the sport.

Here's a pic -



Caps but no locks -



So I went to the Wheel Specialist in Mcr who did my Evo rims earlier in the year and had them furbed. In the meantime I was hunting down locks and everything else I needed from the dealer.



O rings -



Badges -



Lock caps ( the small O ring on these doesn't come with them - £2.82 each !!)



New tyres -



After a morning of replacing the locks this is how they are -











I'm hoping to put them on at weekend, pics to follow

they look lovely Kieran, but don't rest them on the sport bumper !!!

the lock caps are cheap ?

[kieran325]

The lock caps were £4.78 each then the O ring for the lock cap was £2.82 !!

The large O ring for the cap itself are £3.82 each.

Lock set was £98.42

Alpina badge was £8.20 each.

I have a habit of leaning against the bumper -

[Kemix]

Very cool, bumper leaning = not cool

They look the shizzle my man. They'd look better on my convertible though!

the Wheel Specialist in Mcr

Is that the name of the company Kieran? Are they painted in the original colour and finish?

Thinking of getting some wheels of mine done,eventually.

[Royalratch]

Best wheels out there.

I thought the inner emblems were £15 each. I need a new set all round as I suspect some of mine are not legit.

[darren_mk]

Beautiful Job!

Would you have the part no of the small o-ring please?
I am doing a refurb on mine and just hope they will look as good!

[E30BeemerLad]

You are a tart of the highest order and I'm not jealous one little bit

[maddogg]

Very nice indeed.

As above with the part number, £8 each.

Ebay do all four for £7.99 - beware

Yeah thats the place, I had my evo rims done there and was impressed with them then -



I bought four new caps from the dealer, the match was near perfect -





I'll be having a set of 15 BBS wheels refurbed soon like above, I recommend them.

those wheels look familiar
get them on and get that rubber scrubbed in, if you pop down I'll bed them in for you ;)

Have you seen them before

I'd rather stick pins in my eyes than ride shotgun with you again

I'll bed them in myself listening to Smooth FM and in a sedate manner

[kieran325]

I'm bumping this because I've had a few PM's regarding part numbers etc.

Hope it helps

[MurphyE30]

nice work they look great!

[polsta]

so what was ther paint you used on the bbs ?

when my golds are on the car maybe next week, i want my bbs refurbed, they are going to be winter wheels, the car will sit on on snow etc un-used , so im not so sure weather to get them proper refurbed like that, or just if to get them off, key them up a bit etc and just spray the faces to freshen them up, seems the color theres never a clear cut paint and always people say this or that ..

[BrianBimmerHead]

Just about to refrurb my alpinas, those part no.s will be v handy thanks.

Can you get the locks seperately?

No worries, makes the job easier knowing the part numbers.

I'm not sure about the locks seperately, maybe worth a call to your local dealer and enquire and update us.

[kieran325]

The lock set for just the 7's all round is ending in 119.

If you have the staggered set 7 & 8's you need the lock set ending in 127.

[oguz327]

Cant beat a fresh set of staggered Alpina's, very nice

[corkie]

nice refurb,lucky mine came with all those parts new,the best e30 wheels imo

[RustyRuss]

Stunning stunning wheels
