These wheels are pretty hard to find, and people who have them know what they are worth and usually want alot. I think you can get the wheels New at KSK Distributors in Cali for about 2k. If you find a used set they will probably run about $1k.

Wow. Thats too expensive for me. Anyone make replicas of these?

I don't believe that anyone makes replicas now. back then when our cars were new there may have been companies that did make replicas, so its possible that you may find some that look like them.

There is another set of wheels like the Alpinas that are usually a little easier to come across. They are the BMW Motorsport wheel made by BBS, they are like the factory 13 inch sport wheels, the basketweaves except in 15x6 for the front and 15x7 in the rear

good luck finding alpina's or the bbs rims... rare as hell...
i see you have stumbled accross the shitheap known as bmw320i.com and their forums... shit i say.. i have been kicked off 3 times now.. a bunch of tightass old men over there... some good info for help on stock problems but no love for the modified E21.... i'd look into some rice rims in 4x100 and get some spacers made up.. ill tell u right now the biggest u will be able to fit and still drive is a 16

Do you know of a site to direct me to that would sell rims for my car? I tried tirerack.com and all it came up with was 2 pairs of some shitty rims i wouldn't put on my car.

Today its pretty hard to find wheels which will fit our cars.

Wheels which will fit:

Alpina's
BMW Motorsport
Kosei K1
Pannasport
TSW Hockenheim (originals not the R's)
MSW SuperTourismo's

there are other wheels which will fit, but most will need spacers

I seen companies in Europe that make rims for the 320, like Team Dynamics, MIM, Radius; but the price is a little steep, and then there is the shipping charge........

Team Dynamics have some with shippping from the UK for 560 bucks.

panasport *drool* too bad they costs soo much!!!

there are replica alpinas made.....kopi alpinas, BUT they're meant for non-m3 e30's (so u'll need 8mm spacers) they have an offset of 20mm.....and are 17x7.5 (not sure if they'll fit up front w/ out hitting anything......maybe w/ perfect spacers and rolled fenders)
