IMHO i wouldnt use my hard earned for some fake alpinas. Granted they look ok, but they stand out a mile that they're fake.
Original BBS's all the way, or save for a more expensive / better wheel.
Still is a bloody bargain though!!

I do agree with what your saying Geoff......but genuine alpinas are extremely rare to find and your paying a small fortune as well.
I think the 17's fill the arches nicely and makes the E30 look even meaner that what it does already!
Granted the car drives better with 15's but I prefer the look of the 17's.
Ill see what I can do on a deal!

it has to be 17s the real ones are 16s and just dont look right imo
but everyone has different taste which is good otherwise the world would be a boring place to live!
