Alpina/Replica centre caps

[Grrrmachine]

I've got some 15" OZ wheels in the Alpina style:



And I'm thinking about having aluminium discs made to cover the centres and wheel nuts, so they look more like the original Alpina wheels. But I have no idea how they actually fit to the wheel.

Has anyone got a pic of the rear of the centre caps, whether it's original Alpina or BK? Or even better, know who makes them?

Why don't you put a thread in one of the 4 small holes, make a centre cap with an alngning hole and you are sorted. That's how the RG reps caps work.

Don't bother. Paint the centres black and serve them to an E21fiend !

I'm going to do the centres black anyway; that's how I like them, but I'm intrigued by this threaded hole idea. Got any pics so I know what you mean?

You will end up with a big fat and ugly 10mm bolt holding the centre cap on.

Inclined to agree



Looks great imo.

Black centres it is then

Taken them to be media-blasted today. Eight quid a wheel - bargain!

So are you planning on serving them to one of us E21 masochistic types?

Not likely; postage would be a killer! plus I'd want to recoup most of the cost of all the repair/painting. I don't think anyone's going to pay that much for a set of replicas (be about 400 quid all in for me to replace them).

Plus, I like the look

You shouldn't need genuine locks if they are priced with an alpina tax, look at the hafele or similar website.

Those wheels look exactly like real Alps!
