I have five of those Alba rims and caps, along ith good tires. Someone offered me 900 for all five


Think I should take it and just go back stock with the 390's?

I saw a 735 with them last night, it didnt look anyworse. I could put on some new 390's for about 350, and use the other $550 for rebuilding the rear suspension...I want other rims, but the alabas are so ugly, i almost think the stock ones look better. At least if i go turbo, it would be one hell of a sleeoer :redspot

More info needed.

The 390s are the TRXs, correct? Can you still get them, and if so, for less than $100 each?

What are the Albas worth? What size are they?

Frankly, for $900, you should be able to find a pretty nice set of new or barely used 16s/17s (pick your style) and be good to go.

Don't compromise of tires/wheels with the TRXs, or you will be looking to dump those in another 6 months...Do one section of the car at a time, and do it in a way that you can live with for a while.

Just my $0.02...

Oh, I should have included that I have the 390's, they came with the car, all five, I can post pics tommorrow. Allegedly, the Albas went for about 1650 for all 5, so over 300 apiece wheels and tires. Tires, due to rear camber problems, are wearing fast, i need to rebuild the back suspension, and get new tires.



Theres been a lot of hating on my rims lately, from the forum. The local ethnic group seems wuite fond of them, though.The 390's with tires are about 7 pounds lighter, so there may be a lsight performance gain..tellyou what:

Wednesday, i will post pics both ways

You can get a set of stock E38 16s rims very very cheap... and kumhos for 100 a piece. Not sure if they fit right...I know they fit on my E24 no prob.

Good point.

I sold my stock 16s earlier this year for $475. Wheels were in good (not great) shape and were round (not bent). Tires had at least another 20K miles on them...

They have a little more offset dont they?

23mm.

What is stock for your car (maybe 20mm) and what are your Albas? BTW, I think of that dry, crunchy toast when I hear that name...

I think of jessica Alba, which is probably why they are still on their :biglaughb:

She likes to make green chili enchiladas



Anyway, I am going to put up some pics tommorrow of them , and then the factories, on the car, maybe Ill make it a poll
