AFAIK the alpina rims were only ever available genuinely in 15 and 16" with the 4x 100 PCD.

He might be hated a little tbh, as he done fuck all when he was with us, but he's done that at all the clubs he has been manager at 8O

As a player tho, he just got voted in at No 9 on the Definitive 100 Players who Shook the Kop 8)

Awesome player in his day, grew up watching him and the likes of Emlyn Hughes, Kenny Daglish, John Barnes etc etc etc

:cool:

Apparently there are some very, very rare 17" alpinas with 4x100 PCD that were made for the Z1. Ive only seen a pic in one of the mags, TBMW possibly.

There will always be a next time bud...Especially with the team that Mr Redknapp is building at the mo, you've got some quality players in there now, and by the looks of it some more to come. I do like the Pompey tho, they always fight hard and imho your supporters are up there with us...Quality.

I met Mr Redknapp this year, down in Weymouth, top bloke.

it's true! 17's in 4x100 17x8 as featured on the alpina 2.7 Z1 roadster or known as the alpina RLE. Only 66 were built hence why there are no second hand ones forsale!

I wish i could get a set. Ronal made them so maybe if u are rich enough!!!
