The wheels have been taken off auction early for some reason. Kinda pricey anyway for wheels needing repainting.
Hello Kal,
I am curious as to what you think it would cost to repaint a set of rims like that?
Also, what do you think the rims would be worth repainted compared to buying a new or reproduction set?
I am just looking to figure out a price range for wheels like that. Either used ones like that, redone (repainted) ones or new/repo ones out of a catalog.
Thanks
OK, KSK wants something like $650 a wheel (NEW) == max of $2600.
To professionally paint a wheel (power coat) or spray on enamel would be $20-40 to strip (acid dip or sandblast) and $30-60 to paint. (depends upon who does it etc) == $200 --> $400.....
That said I've seen sets of Alpina wheels for sale in the Roundel in VGC for $700-$1200+.
I myself have (5) sets of these wheels. Payed anywhere from $400 (a used set that needed work) to $1000 for a brand NEW NOS set with the fancy wheel covers (something outragious like $800+ a wheel new price).
So what are they these used Alpina wheels worth??
As usual what someone will pay.....
WH
1979 Alpina B7
1981 Alpina B7
1979 Euro 528i (w/alpina's)
1981 M535i (w/Alpina's)
1 extra set that needs work.....
