No worries, I had a Sebring grey motorsport cab before this which I thought was the best, as soon as I see this one for sale I knew I was gonna have it, quite rare in this colour. She only sees sunlight though, currently sorn to keep the nasty salt away!

Cheers fellas, I think the alpinas do look good but they are really tatty, so I bought a set of bbs rc reps, hopefully will look even better once they are on.

I should of thought about that, the alpinas are already off and the bbs fitted. Plus the sun ain't shining quite as bright as the picture already shown! Hopefully the shocks will have leveled out by the weekend and il get a picture with the car at the same angle.

Me likey!! What size of rubbers are you running, and where would I get some from ? I've always liked the alpinas, but these look really nice.

I'm running 205/40/17 all round mate, I loved how the car looked on alpinas but as the wheels were looking tired and the cost of refurb was £280 I thought I'd pay the extra and buy the bbs reps, I paid £400 delivered with spacers and wheel nuts from wheelpower in Devon. Wasn't sure if I liked them at first but when the suspension settled and I cleaned the car I really liked the look, probably gonna space the rears abit more though as they sit in the arch a bit.

Hi Brett, I'm also currently running on 17" Alpina reps, with 205/40 rubber on. What are the spacers for, and are the bbs' 5 or four studs? Arch fit is okay without spacers, surely?

The bbs are four stud mate , the offset of the wheel is et35 so I spaced them out 5mm but ideally I need 10mm all round to fit the arches a bit and save my wheel bearings from taking a hammering. Of course I will then need to get some longer bolts.
