  • BMW Alpina Softlines 18x8 ET20, 18x9 ET24, 74.1mm hub, fresh powder, $2000

    Selling a set of BMW Alpina Softlines. Genuine, Ronal manufactured.

    $1580 + shipping + PayPal fees.

    Specifications:
    Bolt pattern BMW 5x120, 18x8 front (quantity 2) are ET20, 18x9 rear (qty 2) are ET24.
    Hub bore appears to be 74.1mm for E39 5 series BMW's, will include plastic rings to allow wobble-free fitment for other BMW's.
    Wheels feature hidden valve stem behind locking center cap
    Wheels include 2 keys for lockable center caps
    Fresh powder coat (Hammered Nickel) with clear coat on top (wheels were chrome) by BB's Coat A Chrome in Lake Stevens WA - Bob does excellent work and is a real craftsman.
    When I purchased them, one front wheel was slightly bent. Balanced out very easily. When I had all 4 wheels spun, the other front was shown to be also mildly bent. Bends in front wheels were taken out professionally by Foster's Dependable Wheel in Renton WA - Tim and Cory - great guys, great craftsmen as well.

    Notes:

    Two valve stems are new from KSK Alpina, valve stems were reinstalled w/ Permatex Aviation #3 form-a-gasket on the threads to prevent any problems.

    Due to the chrome finish being OK, but with some spots of corrosion, the wheels are not nit-picky perfect. They however are very, very nice. They show well from any distance, but are not 50 hours of filler prior to powder coat perfect, like a showroom wheel that costs 4700 a set from KSK Alpina.

    Lock pulling caps are not included, for the extra $100, I figured someone can buy those themselves if they want. Locks were disassembled and flushed out with WD-40 truthfully... And they work fantastically.

    The center caps were re-installed with 100% silicone, GE Kitchen & Bath, to allow easier removal of the center caps, if the next owner wanted to replace the caps for whatever reason.

    The color is so rich, warm and beautiful to me, I am having a set of wheels done in the same color, Hammered Nickel, which is a SUPER light texture powder coat. With the clear powder over the top, these are super smooth and glossy. The powder is just fantastic looking. They do have a "change color" look depending on lighting, in bright sun the metallic silver flake pops like crazy. In the dark, they look a little ghostly, almost with a matte silver appearance, maybe slightly darkening up, but still with a killer gloss. I know it sounds a little odd, but they are pretty wheels, in my humble opinion.

        ScaredOfStance: Thanks for the kind words. I didn't make them! I just paid a lot and then dumped more into them. The guys who worked on them did good. Not perfect but very good Alpina rollers. Thanks again for the kindness.

        Bumping as there (was) a pending sale with deposit.

              I'm starting to look pretty pathetic here. If anyone wants some good Alpina rollers, give me a shout... I would love some offers from people seriously interested! I will take more photos, etc., video, send you an e-mail! Or a text message! Whatever is hip these days, I'll try to do it so I can sell these wheels before the next 3 months are out! =)

              P.S. thanks to everyone for the interest so far, sorry they aren't precisely what you wanted.

                If these offsets were just a tad higher I'd be all over them.

                Bump for beautiful wheels and a local seller.
