Wheels arrived (Pics)
Mi new wheels arrived today. This is a used set with only 20 miles. They come from a 2012 Alpina B7 Biturbo that the owner drove the car from the dealership straight to a shop to get another set of wheels. They look absolutely brand new. I love the classic look!!
I will mount tomorrow or Friday. jo

They are 8.5"x21" front and 10"x21" rear. I really wanted 20" but there none around the US, and importing a new set from Germany was going to be prohibitive. To compensate for the large wheel, I am going to use slightly taller tires. I hope that will give me a better ride and also protect the wheels. I live in DC where the streets are not the best, but since live downtown, I think I know almost all the potholes ;-)
Will post photos when mounted.

31 lbs is not that bad for 21"!
Anyway this is no track build car- don't care if the wheels are 1-2 lbs heavier. But I think those wheels would look much better on my car   |

Do you know what the OEM 19" wheels from the Sport Package weigh? I have not been able to find that information. I just installed the Alpinas and I cannot feel a difference with regards to the weight.

Looks great - I hope I can get my 20" set as soon as possible.
According to a german site the 19" 351M does weight 32 lbs! |
