Option B because the second pic thats Cyfatha Castle about 2 minutes from my house

Go for the refurb. Fake rims are garbage (Including those godawful M3 reps above, which are so blatantly fake they don't even say BMW Motorsport on them as per the genuine ones) and the original BBS wheels look great.

DEFIANTLY option A.

For me at least they are the best looking

Torch [P4] · 24 Jun 2008 at 12:41

Option A for me as well it just suits the 328 sport so well

alltho if you can get some BBS LM reps they do look pretty smart

Option A by miles for me, i really dont like those alpina's.

Option a.) Refurb the BBS RC041 Alloys

Option a by a country mile, they look the nuts!

A by miles

if getting a company to do it, you'll probably be looking at around £80 per wheel if they are splitting, painting/powder coating the centres and polishing the rims then re-assembling. Prob looking at the guts of £400 once you add in the cost of removing/refitting tyres etc

so all in all 200/300 cheaper than the alpinas and look a million times better

A - WIN
B - looks like badgerpoo

gareth.e · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:09

AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA'y

chrislusty · 24 Jun 2008 at 15:15

A,
B looks terrible

IAmATeaf · 24 Jun 2008 at 16:27

I quite like the BBS alloys, have never been a fan of the Alpina alloys if truth be known and why have Alpina not changed them - or have they?

The ones on that red E36 - I thought the genuine ones had BMW MOTORSPORT engraved into them?

Nope, these:

However I did have to search through 4 pages of genuine wheels without the text to find those so I guess they came in both styles

The early M3 (pre Evo) did have these, but they weren't staggered. 8.5" all round iirc.

The ones on the latter Evos (like my red one in the pic) were polished and didn't have the 'Motorsport' engraving. They did have the little M badges thou.

Mine were 8.5 front and 10.5 rear

edit - the ones in whatleytom's pic are even earlier versions from around 93/94 I think.

[TW]Fox · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:39

10.5 rear? Blimey, you sure? My rear 18's are 9.5..

naefeart · 24 Jun 2008 at 17:47

You're right, I think I must be talking out of my a&se.

It was soo long ago I cant remember now. The tyres were definately 245/40s thou. I'll need to check on the rims.

Ah, the early M3s has 7.5" rims all round, the Evo had 7.5" front and 8.5" rear. My bad
