Although i dont think the Azev A's are a bad looking wheel, the Alpina's are better in many ways.

Never liked the look of Azev alloys on a e30. I would go with the Alpinas but real ones no reps. :D

Azev's are a good choice, if you want to move a bit away from 100% genuine look. While Alpinas are lovely, but they don't always stand out, especially when every John and Barry got replicas on their bruv spec bimmers.

Personally, I prefer Borbet B's, but try find a set :roll:

Someone mention Azev's? Well....
I like both wheels although prefer a staggered setup, although I think a staggered setup is a must with a tech 2 kit to fill out the rear end.
Alpina does give a more OEM look though but Azev's still suit well imo- well they are my favourite wheel 8)

Would you say £1000 with tyres is a fair price?

Council are 17" Alpina reps...

Borbet As look great on the right car, like mk2 Golfs and E30s.
