hi guys, just want to check if anybody has purchased from this website before and to check what the OE size of Alpina wheels was that was fitted to the E30 was it 16" as i want these wheels but i want them to be as close to OE as i can, ie width, offset, diameter and tyre size. any help/ info would be much appreciated.

The alpina's on an e30 were 16inch and the ones pictured look genuine, i bought some locks for the 16 alpina's from same company no complaints and were received quickly too

Correct wheels. But for that money you could buy a decent set of used staggered, get them powder coated and still have change. Or a set of non staggered and do the same and have even more change.

Assuming you could find a staggered set.

thanks for the info guys. and its just id rather spend the exrtra money on a new set with warranty than a 20+ year old original set.

not really people are selling staggered sets these days for around the £900 mark and they'll still be the damaged bucked sh!t that comes up forsale normally.

Factor in a refurb and tyres and suddenly the new wheels don't look so expensive no?
