Here we go, this should be a healthy debate....

Went to collect my 18 inch Alpinas yesterday and they are very nice, however........

There is also a set of staggered Style 32's which are also in great condition.

So mentors, which will look best??? Originality with the 32's or the Alpina's? I cant afford both (yet)

Also up for grabs is a mk4 Satnav with disc allowing postcode search, is it worth upgrading for £275.00??

All opinions please.

Pete.

BTW, thanks for the very warm welcome messages! :D

I have the style 32's on my 3 series Tourer, they are my favourite wheels of all time, but may look a little small on your car.

Admittedly I have 215/35/18 tyres stretched all round so makes them look even smaller, but i just don't think they will look right on a 7 limo.

Well, i think so.........

I'm with you on the 32's on an E38, they do look great. Hence the post....

Might just bang some tyres on the Alpinas and put them on the 'Bay' Think i'll fit 'em on the 750 and see what they look like........just for the hell of it and for some pics, of course.

I wouldnt bother with the tyres mate, wheels just dont fetch good money anymore

Hi Shaun, Around £400, with a set of 235/55/18 bridgestones on with about 5-6mm still left. Pete.

Style 32's; you know it makes sense :D

Mine are in currently for a full refurb and have decided to go with a sparkle silver finish. Hopefully have them back on Friday but could be early next week so will get pics up of when theyre back on :)
