Hello all!

As above interested to hear thought and opinions from anyone who has them on their e30.

They seem like a fairly good deal all things considerd, Yes they aren't original parts but for the price of buying an original set these days and refurbing them looks to put them around the same price as a set of Maxilites.

Doesn't seem to be anywhere in the Uk who has stock so if you do have them where did you get them from? What was the cost fully landed in the UK?

Thanks!

I bought a set before Brexit. I think it was 650 all in.
The quality of the wheels are spot on and weights exactly as OE.

I have brand new Maxilite basket weaves in 15" & 16" in left over stock from Street tech. I was just going to keep them to have options in the future but happy to let a set go, I have the alpinas on the car as well but I'll definatly be keeping those. I'd need to look and see how much they're owe me if either are what you're looking for. I am in Scotland but they'd be easy enough to ship as they're still in the boxes.

Could be interested in those 15 inch maxlites mate. Let me know what you would be willing to let them go for including shipping and I'll have a think.

i have 17x7.5" alpina reps and the quality is actually quite ok, the wheel centres are a bit cheapish plastic and not as solid as the real alpina and non lockable and harder to remove without scratching them but overall positive

Alpina is making the wheels again in case anyone wanted the real deal. Also the price isn’t as bad as I was expecting it to be.
