Not mine and no association. They are listed on the Facebook BMW E9 group by member Michele Di Gregorio. They are staggered 7x16 and 8x16 with proper Alpina offset. My guess is they are using the same supplier Coupeking uses for his replicas. I am hoping someone more tech savvy than me who has a Facebook account can somehow put a link up the the posting from Facebook.

I had to look at my Alpinas to tell the difference, but the end of the spokes sit a little higher where they meet the barrel. He should be selling as Alpina reps/copies.

Looks like a very good deal if shipping isn't outrageous considering they are the correct size with the correct offset.

Here is the web page, plenty of nice things. Based in Italy with plenty of Alfa photo's
They do say that they sell replicas.

Yes this helps. The website shown on the facebook photo isn't up...

The step on the lip is what differentiates these from other Alpina replicas that I've seen, including Coupe King's. Good price though...

Glad it worked out for you. Once you get wheels maybe give us some feedback on quality and finish.

E9madada,

Just wondered how you got on with your purchase of these wheels ?

Do they look the part and do the job?

What tires are you or have you fitted ?

Received the wheels without problem.
I was unsure about the offset claimed, looking at the pictures but all checks out ok when measured.
The finish is a good standard, with both black caps and closed lug included.
I think they are great value, £750 for staggered set, would probably have cost me twice that amount to import some from Coupeking, with minor difference.
I won't be putting tyres on them yet, as messing about with suspension setup with a set of 14" x 7" with 225/60 BF Goodrich I got cheap.

I feel we may be getting discounted pricing on wheels from Coupeking in the near future. The beauty of the open market and competition. :)
