That 740 looks mint! btw, posting the widths of the mags might get a little more interest. Edited September 1, 2008 by Nick021 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 Experience has shown that 'expressions of interest' rarely get any responses. If your serious about selling either put up a price or post a link to a trademe auction. I could be interested for the right price, although I already have a set of 18's As an aside, Id love to know why your selling the wheels so soon after picking the car up for a bargain price ? Did it need new tyres and they are just too expensive ? Seems a shame to be breaking up a car that looks rather nice so quickly. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bradc 0 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 These would look amazing on my 850CSi. How wide are they? If they are 9" and 10" then I will be very keen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

martyyn 2 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 alpina type stripes and wheels with snitzher(sp) badgng and number plates.....identity crisis The stripes are Schnitzer Paul, the only thing Alpina are the wheels. My understanding is that because Schnitzer dont do 20's that when the 'S7' came out you could have the Alpinas instead. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Did it need new tyres and they are just too expensive ? Seems a shame to be breaking up a car that looks rather nice so quickly. I've put "expressions of interest" because I've figured that only very interested purist's will appreciate and understand what these mags are worth, and to quickly put the "I'll swap them for my curbed 17's and $500.00 your way" offers to bed. I'd be interested in what your opinion of the "right price: might be. I've been investigating these mags hard and have been quite appalled by the prices! I have noticed that distributors in the states sell them for 5K US for a set new, mags only! http://www.ksk-alpina.com/ I have big plans for the car, and are importing some rims from the UK.

Palazzo 438 Report post Posted September 1, 2008 FYI, I priced a set of these back in '95ish. $14k for the set, but as the salesman explained, that did include the tyres. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I can understand that you dont want people offering to swap 17' chromes etc, but nothing will put them off more than an actual price.It really is quite simple, if you want an auction then stick them on trademe. If you have a price in mind then lets have it. As for my valuation, yes they are difficult to get in NZ and yes they may have been $14k when new over a decade ago. But as Ive found with any large wheels in NZ they rarely go for what the seller believes they are worth and more often than not sell for a tiny fraction of the original asking price. Last year I watched a set of 18's go from $3500 to $800 in the space of six months and even then they sat at $800 with no reserve for a couple of auctions. Thanks to Simon I have them sitting in my garage now Not having tyres is going to also dent the sale price somewhat, god knows how much it would cost to wrap 20's. Anyway, got any photos of the Breytons your after ? Ive seen several e32's and e38's with large 'Magics' on them and they have looked superb. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Apex 693 Report post Posted September 2, 2008 More pictures?? Did you buy your car from a chap in Karaka?? When i was a kid our neighbours had a car very similar to yours. If they fit and suited a E60 I would offer you $2,000 for them. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NZ market is pretty small, could even be worthwhile offering them overseas? good luck with sale, they are very cool wheels Edited September 2, 2008 by Mike Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I seem to have stirred up a hornets nest here but thats the beauty of internet forums Safe to say any decent offers over 2K will be considered, with the rims being sold to the highest offer. Yes second hand mags are usually worth sweet F.A but how often do you see mint cond 20" Alpinas for sale in NZ? If they dont sell, so be it - I have plenty of room in my garage - plus I drive a 7 mate, I could fit them in the boot.

Yeah they are P - Zeros and I am keeping them - two of them are near unwarrantable anyway. Still damn sticky though. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
