If you're shopping for an exceptional "OEM Plus" type look -- one that looks correct for the vintage of your BMW, but still is a size upgrade from what was typically available, then look no further. The Maxilite Alpina Replica Style design gives you the fitment and size you want, in the iconic Alpina Multi-Spoke wheel style you already know and love. While the stock factory "turbine" wheels on US-spec cars are typically only a 13" or 14", now you can upgrade the visual appeal and handling with this larger 15" diameter version from Maxilite.
Have you tried to find 13" and 14" tires lately? The selection isn't great! This slightly larger 15" diameter Alpina style wheel opens up some 15" tire options, and looks fantastic on 4-lug applications like the non-M E30 models (318i, 318is, 325, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, and 325ic Convertible). It can also be use on the classic 1600 / 2002 / 2002tii, as well as the E21 3 series.
Low Offset. This size/offset was originally made for the E21 3 Series. Be advised that on the E30 and 2002 models, this is a pretty low offset, which means they will sit quite far out and close to the fender arches. It normally works without any body modifications, but tire size should be chosen carefully to prevent rubbing on the outside body work.
Recommended Tire for 2002/2002tii**:
175/55-15 Front
175/55-15 Rear
Recommend Tire for E30 (non-M / RWD)**:
195-50-15 Front
195-50-15 Front
**Note the above are suggestions that work for typical customers. Your BMW fitment and experience may vary between cars or brand/model of tire.
Fitment Considerations: These wheels come in several size/offset variations. If you are unsure exactly what size/offset your specific BMW setup requires, we encourage you to speak with our sales team prior to ordering. All wheels are sold with the understanding that you, the classic car owner, have researched your tire sizing and clearance beforehand. While the bolt pattern, center bore, and offsets are generally designed to work with the BMW models listed below, variations in suspension setup, aftermarket components, bodywork, tire size, and other factors may change your requirements. Avoid costly restock fees and returns by verifying your fitment ahead of your purchase.
Includes black plastic center cap (as pictured).
Logo / emblem sold separately.
