Hi all,

When I bought my car it came with a "set" of 17" Alpinas/reps, but there are actually two different types of wheel (2 of each). I'm wanting to sell these wheels on and want some proper info on them before I advertise them and end up looking like a fool for not knowing what I've actually got.

Two of them are multifit 4x100 and 4x108, with square edges to the rim and 19 spokes.

The other two are just 4x100, with rounded edges to the rim, also with 19 spokes.

Could anyone tell me anything about these wheels? Manufacturer, desirability, etc.?

Cheers

That's good to know, cheers, I guess there isn't much demand for one type of replica over another?

Yeah, I had to read that twice when I first noticed, I'd always assumed when people say Ling Long tyres, that it was just a pisstake talking about generic Chinese tyres :mad:
