Looking for front 19" Dynamic Alloy for the Alpina Roadster S. Can only seem to find rear ones when looking on the internet. Anyone know where I can get one?
Have you had a price from Sytner?

Posted on the Alpina forum earlier and going to ring Sytner in the morning as was closed when I rang. Didn't realize they were so hard to get a hold of
Yeah they are pretty rare but do occasionally come up on eBay (usually eBay.de) - there's a couple of rears on there at the moment - also the alpina forum sometimes has them available. Apart from that, it's usually sytners, but make sure you're sat down when you make the call!
If you don't mind me asking, what's wrong with your original one?

Thanks for all the input. £638 is the cheapest I can find at the moment. This seems a bit too expensive.
Basically the problem I have is that the tyre on the front passenger alloy keeps dropping PSI so I need to put air in it once a week. I checked with a tyre place and the tyre is fine but the alloy has a slight bump in and that is why the pressure keeps going low. They attempted at knocking the bump out but it had not resolved the problem. Is there anywhere that could just fix the alloy?

I replied to you on the Alpina forum......
Losing psi - get it off and down to Lepsons. A tyre monkey trying to knock out a bump in a Dynamic isn't too smart-an-idea as it will probably crack the alloy. A tenner+vat to straighten it out, and an extra £60+vat will see it refurbed completely. I have a small crack in a rear wheel which is being tended next month (mine isn't losing pressure, yet, though). Lepsons are superb....and MUCH cheaper than a new wheel.

Is there anywhere closer as I'm coming from Liverpool?

NP. I would not recommend anyone else from my past poor experiences. Lepsons are brilliant (Many of us on the Alpina forum swear by them, and I'm a huge cheerleader for their Swindon branch having had excellent work done by them at good prices they give a perfect colour match). If you don't live near them, get the tyre off and courier the wheel for about £15 e/w. The refurb will take 3-4 days. My full set are booked-in next month to sort some minor corrosion and the light crack I mentioned earlier.

I think I'll take your advice and go to Lepsons. I'll give them a call. Thanks again
