I know loads of people out there have got replica alpinas, just wondered what was the best way to go about replacing the BK badge with an Alpina badge? Have people popped out the bk badge or stuck the alpina one over the top?
Cheers guys.

Peel em off. Or leave em for a year or so and they'll fall off like mine did.!

Hey guys!

New to the board here. Just wondering where I can pick up some of these BK171 wheels? Is there a website/manufacturer name? Specs, prices, etc?

I've been researching trying to find good Alpina replicas for a while now, and have been having very little luck here in the US.

Thanks!

Check out Ebay, some good prices on there. A very good looking wheel but some people have experienced some balancing problems.
Search for a few threads on here.
Two types available:
BK racing model number 171
Ap motorsport.
Cheers,
Andy.

http://www.topgear.co.uk sell the BK171's, but I imagine shipping to the US could be costly.


As for the alpina centres, send a PM to cuk325sport as he makes them or something..

www.rochfordtyres.co.uk is where I bought mine from, don't know if they ship abroad.. worth asking though :thumb:

I bought some Alpina centres from cuk325sport and they are top quality :rock: domed badges to REPLACE the BK ones.... the old BK badges do come off easily.
