Hello

I have a set of 5 Alpina wheels from my CSI the numbers on them are 2800606 and 1110344 they are 7J X 14, the spare is immaculate and never been on the car comes complete with its original Michelin tyre which is new never used ! the other 4 are pretty good condition could benefit from a repaint but are perfectly usable as they are, no tyres on these 4.

What are they worth ??
 
Depends. If they are genuine Alpinas, or the BMW Alpina style. Both are 14x7 with, from memory, the same offset. From the numbers you mention, I suspect they are NOT Alpinas, probably the BMW Alpina style. The unused spare with Original Michelin XDX/XWX 195/70 will be of intrest to a concours fan.
I see you are in Ireland so shipping will be a factor in what anyone will pay.
In the UK a set of four refurbished 16" genuine Alpinas with new centre caps went for £850.00 last year. Collection
A set of 4 very early 5 hole Alpinas in need of a total refurb went for less than £250.00 last year, again collection only.
So anything is worth what someone will pay for it. Pitch them at what you think, but be realistic, or they will around for a long time.
There is a set of 4 Alpina style 14x7 on German ebay for $1700. Plus shipping. They have been around for a very long time! There is also another set of 4 Alpina style from Serbia for alot $1000.00

Thanks a lot, How do I tell if they are genuine Alpinas or BMW ones ? the numbers on them are as listed does this denote who made them ? this is a picture of them on the car before removal and tyre scrapping if this helps ?

They are in fairly good condition for their age and would certainly refurbish to immaculate if needed, I could bring them to the UK in Dec and leave them there for collection in Lincolnshire if that would help anyone

Genuine Alpinas will have "Alpina" on the front face of the wheels and the makers name ( Ronal) and a conventional date stamp on the rear face. I am 99% sure your are not the real thing but the very nice BMW Alpina style.

Nice looking car BTW! Is it a late model with a 4350**** chassis/VIN number. Unusual to see the electric mirrors on the e9! I suggest you may have the wipers arms on the wrong side. They came from the factory with the spoiler on the left hand side!
Dont you just love OCD

Again thanks for the info, mine do have ALPINA cast in the alloy on the front , not sure about the date stamp in the back (I will have to clean one up to check) strangely enough just been out and checked the new spare one and although identical pattern it's got BMW cast I'm the front rather than ALPINA and it's a 6 j not a 7 j like the others! I know for certain these were supplied new with the car in late 1976 to the first owner in Hong Kong .
