what are these wheels?
are they gen wheels? pinas?
what are they worth?
if i bought the car they are on (its on ebay at the moment) who'd buy them off me?

[Simon13]

mate are you stupid or did you have to work at it? Seriously..............on form tonight pal.

[billgatese30]

they look alot like e21 alpina's, are they 15" ?

[d6dph]

Exactly what I was thinking Chris.

[Simon13]

e21 and e30 rims don't swap as the offsets are totally different, all E30 alpinas are 16inch and have a locking centre cap.

Look like e21 Alpina's to me, even if the offset is wrong they will still bolt on an e30, remember Bharats touring Simon?

well they are on an e30. even if the offset is wrong. so long as they done rub anywhere whats it matter!

[Simon13]

buy it then and find out out for yourself

Nice weight-saving wing on that car too Murran.

Hi

If they are 15" e21 eg offset et15 I give you £200, the fit a e30 okay as they are only 6" (unless the rears are 7") and only sit 10 further out towards the arch. IF they are 13" they are bmw turbines and there some 14" ats rims also in that style.

They are 15 inch King wheels, nothing to do with Alpina at all apart from being a copy. Value about £150 with good tyres. More that the car they're bolted to judging by the rot. No doubt an Ebay refugee.

well im after a trampdrift car..... so sell tech1 kit, wheels and strip it out, weld the diff up and trailer with works trailer to tdw3 for me and two mates to have a laugh with, so not bothered bout how rotten it is. or tax and test for that matter. so this looks ideal to me........

found these gen alpinas via e21 zone, them on that red e30 do look like copys to me........

[AAXX]

I have a set of King 7J x 15 et12 Alpina copies on my e30 touring with lowered suspension. I had to modify the rear arches slightly to smooth out that strengthener on the inside of the arch/wing; they only have 195's fitted, so I feel Simon is basically right, they are not designed to fit e30's.

Mind you they look sweet now that they do and they are so much more comforable to drive on our Nigerian standard roads than the 8Jx16 genuine Alpinas I have on my saloon.

[murran]

well that answers my question then, they are e21 alpina copys made by some company called king. worth bout 150 quid with decent rubber........ they fit but they are the wrong offset, so may need smaller stretched rubber or some minor arch work........ thanks everyone! see that wasnt so difficult was it simon13?
