WTB Borrani or Alpina steel wheels

[Dusty Snowman]

Trying to find a straight set of 13x6 steel wheels (Borrani or Alpina).  I'm willing to refinish a set if need be.

Thanks in advance everyone

Both were manufactured by CMR. The Alpina steelies were only available in 5" and 5.5" widths, while Borrani steelies gave you a choice of ET17 and ET30 in a 6" width. If you'd like more details, including a matrix of the 2002 rim offerings, I'd recommend the following thread:

As a period rim watcher for years, there's been a drought of Borrani steelie offerings in the U.S. for at least a year. And Alpina steelies? Fuggedaboutit! Unless someone on this forum responds to your Parts Wanted ad, your best bets are the German 2002 forum and German eBay, including the local-sale Kleinanzeigen. Forum member uli (username = uai), who is German, might have a lead on some.

Good luck,

Steve

I know it's a shot in the dark but I figured I'd give it a try.  I've heard Alpinas in 6 inch may be mythical so I threw that out there as well.  I really have no preference between either (round or triangular holes).  My only preference is 6 inch width.

 

Thanks for the info

We have both sets of wheels available at Sports Car Restoration. The Borrani wheels ate 13x5, but fully refinished. The Alpina wheels are 14x6 and sitting in epoxy primer.

14x6 Alpina steelies are NK rims (targeted specifically at the 1800 TiSA cars) but should work on a 2002. They were manufactured by Lemmerz rather than CMR; same high quality.

I believe I've seen your beautiful set of 13x5 Borrani steelies, re-painted in the distinctive original grey-beige color only seen on Borrani steel rims.

Regards,

Steve

Hi Nate, can you shoot me a picture of the 14x6 wheels?  Whats the offset and how much would you like for them?
