My car is getting rarer by the day.. another 1 bites the dust :(

[JINGLE]

as there was only 51 Alpine white Zs made for UK (apparently) and i have seen 1 x //M coupe in alpine white a write off, and now this... theres a max of 49 still out there, theres no doubt a few more written off that im unaware of tho, such a shame

 

[Grumpyowl]

What a sad sight

 

[PerryGunn]

Is that a set of Alpina Classic wheels it's wearing...?

[firebobby]

Sad to see, hopefully no one on here

I count 20 spokes so assume they are original and not reps.

A rep would have 20 spokes as well (or they're not very good reps)

They look real enough though

Reps I've seen normally have the valve on the outer rim, not under the centre cover. I couldn't see one, so assume they are genuine?

That could be fixed/saved! I could do that...easy!

Yeah, I was looking for one but none of the pictures show the whole rim so they could be hidden

No matter real or fake they are doing nothing for that car just wrong on every number :thumbsdown:

I agree with you - I don't think Classics 'work' on a roadster...

Might only be the one for the E30, but remember reading that fakes only had 19 spokes.

Nope - Alpina wheels have 20 spokes, the Dynamics also have 20 spokes but arranged in 5 groups of 4

and Steve's right about some of the older reps having 19 spokes (and a visible valve as markeg mentioned)

but 19-spoke wheels are quite easy to spot as the spokes don't line up correctly across the diameter of the wheel

 

[mr wilks]

I wouldn't even be surprised if the car was on some nice wheels & had them swapped with those "Alpinas" the only set they had knocking about

Fair few spares out there at least!

Why is it sitting so high at the back?

 

[JINGLE]

Well as I'm now thinking about upgrading to a bigger engine maybe this would be a good option if it could be fixed :fuelfire:

 

[jamiez]

Where was this car located or seen?
I am sure I have seen it being drivin around in Bracknell
