Maxilite Alpina Style Wheel - 15x7" ET12 4x100 - E30, E21, 2002/2002tii

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 this may be a style that interests you. The Maxilite Alpina Replica Style design gives you the fitment and size you want, in the iconic Alpina Multi-Spoke "Softline" 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. 

This larger 15" diameter Alpina style wheel looks fantastic on 4-lug applications like the non-M E30 models (318i, 318is, 325, 325e, 325es, 325i, 325is, and 325ic Convertible), and can also be use on the classic 1600 / 2002 / 2002tii, as well as the E21 3 series (additional spacers may be advised or necessary). 

Intended for E21 REAR Fitment
This particular wheel (15x7 ET12) is intended for the REAR on the E21 3 Series (1977-1983). You may find you can make the 7" width work on the front, but the low offset is a consideration and may require body modifications, depending on your tire and suspension setup. 

For the easiest fit we recommend the 15x6" ET12 (the narrower 6" width) on the front, and this 7" wide wheel on the rear only for E21 3 Series. The E30 and 2002 may experience fender rubbing if using this low of an offset. We would consider this offset aggressive on these cars, so caution and careful planning should be used. 

Includes black plastic center cap. 

Emblem not included. There is a place for a 50.8mm emblem, sold separately. We recommend the authentic Alpina emblem which is the perfect size. See Related Items below.

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.
