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

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

The original ALPINA rims look the best

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

That's £3375 too much if you ask me!

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)
