Hi all. I'm hoping one of you can help me.

My girlfriends dad has managed to buckle one of his wheels. Does anyone know where I could get hold of a single front alpina wheel for an e39?

All help is much appreciated

Hi there,

1. You could buy a brand new wheel and keep the buckled one as a spare - if it's not too badly buckled.
2. There are some places which will give a good attempt at fixing the buckle, if it's too badly gone then obviously don't bother, but if it's slight or lighter, then may be worthwhile. If this is the case, perhaps do it, wait on ebay or the classified for a single wheel to turn up that's straight - swap it and use the repaired wheel as a spare.
3. Wait on Ebay & classified for a single wheel to turn up - rare!
4. Sell off the complete set and buy a new set - this option if you have deep pockets smile

Cheers, Dennis!

Cheers mate,

I figured it was going to be a bit of a mission to get hold of a single second hand wheel. I'll get back to him and see how long he's willing to wait and how deep his pockets are! smile
