I'm thinking... "What a waste of a set of Alpinas..."
Silver with a polished lip maybe, but with black ones you'll not see the spokes, which is the beauty of them...

I'm all for them being kept original, but perhaps a titanium style finish with a polished lip would look good?

if you think it'd look good, do it-they're your wheelsNIX wrote:Anyone tried or have pics of painted Alpinas? I'm thinkin black with polished lip
if their genuine ones i'd probably get a photoshop mock up done first, before committing.
if its reps go for it, they're 10 a penny

oh yeah would only do it with reps obviously.
alpina/reps are great wheels for an e30, my only problem is that everyone else thinks so to. would be nice to have something thats just a bit different. i'd do a photoshop job myself but my photoshopping arm is in a sling at the moment and cant be arsed to do it with my left.
offers?
maybe not even in black, maybe in anthracite?
ps. i dont even own alpinas/reps at present, was just a thought.
