martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 21, 2006 Damn you are all nuts paying this much for them! go buy some real racing wheels unless you actually have a real Alpina! Its all a matter of opinion isnt it.I wouldnt want a set of racing wheels if you paid me. The price they eventually reached means different things to different people. There was a time when I was just starting out at work that I woudlve bought a whole car for that price. Nearly twenty years later and things are very different. All of a sudden it doesnt seem too much to have a genuine set of Alpinas. They are the only set of 16' Alpinas Ive seen in 2 1/2 years. There is a price for exclusivity.

Guest Spargo Report post Posted November 24, 2006 They're no longer E30 fitment - aren't fiats 4x98, or was hub bore just changed? Thats the only reason I think they're overpriced - they appear to have been butchered, and could hardly be called mint. And they're not a staggered set (bling factor) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
martyyn 2 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 He re-drilled the hubs on his car, so the wheels are unchanged. Staggered would be the icing on the cake Ill give you that. How many of these have people seen around NZ, Ive not seen any in 2 1/2 years. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
speedyg 16 Report post Posted November 24, 2006 I asked that question on the auction but he never answered. Alfas are 4 x 98mm so I imagined they had been butchered. Nice wheels, I should have brought a set back from the UK. I bought some on ebay when I was over there for around 300 pounds but the seller said they got stolen from his garage. Bummer. I have seen 3 sets (genuine) on E30's down here in Chch. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
