Looking for Original Alpina 14s staggered

[mwcs73]

They don't have to be perfect but solid. Going to drive them not show them.

I don't think the original 14" Alpina's were staggered.
Mine are 14' x 7' so wider than stock wheels.

+1 - haven't heard of staggered Alpina 14s.

Maybe he's thinking of using the later 'Alpina style' stock 6x14" alloys in the front and the 7x14" ones in the back?

Yes sorry my bad.

I mean I'm not looking for a "set" of 4 identical ones, but 2 fronts at 6x14 and two rears at 7x14 ideally.

I don't think they will match. The BMW turbine alpina look wheels will look different than the Alpina wheels

I think only a purist would notice!

I think if you go with a factory FPS wheel from a '74, nobody will notice (except for the missing Alpina logo.

Go with this up front (although this one is bent):

And Alpina in the rear (photo credit: Bela22):

Just don't get these. Notice the ridges on the spokes and the thick ring around the lug holes (photo credit: onovakind67)

Mark,

i think you would be mistaken. the red '73 that Charles sold here in Atlanta a year or so ago - when he got it, there were 3 fps wheels and one alpina - it stuck out like a sore thumb.

I don't doubt that I'm mistaken, but they look pretty similar to me. I wouldn't do it, but it would be good to see a pic. I can help in that department if a real pic was never snapped. Other than the depth of the lip, and paint color made them stand out?
