scanned from the alpina brochure (source: geneva motorshow)
sorry folks scan resolution is so-so

orie's_mini · Mar 12th, 2002, 03:22 AM

similar rims seen on a BMW roadster displayed at the motorshow (better image quality)

Nah, don't really like those, they look too... cluttered. I like simple, striking rims.

Dom · Mar 12th, 2002, 06:30 AM

I think they look good on the Z8 in the second photo, but not really too keen on them with the MINI.

Keep them for the Z8

coopers916 · Mar 12th, 2002, 07:52 PM

the pattern is a wee bit too busy for me.

The original ALPINA rims look the best

ADO15 · Mar 13th, 2002, 09:19 AM

I personally dont find any of their rims attractive... they look so... - 80's.

I wonder if these are the rims that are now avaiable from UK MINI dealers ?

Part numbers have been issued and apparently there is stock avaiable too .....although you will end up paying

£2375 inc vat for the privilege of having 18" Aplina rims on your car

ADO15 · May 23rd, 2002, 11:22 PM

That's £3375 too much if you ask me!

Damo · May 24th, 2002, 07:08 AM

Ermmmm No!

IO don't know what it is with Alpina stuff but I never seem to like anything of theirs. The body kits for the Beemer's always seem "Stuck on" to me, probably because they are *L*

As for the Rims the Multi spoke look better but I don't like the Alpina one's of those either, the centre is to big. BMW's Multispokes look better (IMHO)

ELISEBOY · May 26th, 2002, 06:51 AM

nope, i dont like those on the MINI either
certainly not at that price

are they doing any others?
