Being a lover of the BMW Alpina multi spoke wheels ... does anyone know if anyone makes a version that suits the M100

thanks

I'm sorry to say that it doesn't really come down to "suiting" the Elan. The specifications make one's choice somewhat restricted (4x100 PCD with a 60mm offset).
Generally it is considered that +/- 20% of the offset figure is "acceptable" from a detriment to handling perspective, which gives you a minimum offset of 48mm.

And I'm just going to shift this to a more appropriate area...

There is this one as well. I believe Ekapol and LGM use these and I think they look rather nice on the car.

Sadly, I can't help with Alpina wheels...

Good luck,

On pages 9, 10 and 12 of Stripeless Stripey thread Ekapol has very nice pictures.

Edit: I've just written stripless stripey, now fixed.

Any idea what the details were for this wheel?[/color]

My original Elan M100 wheels are fiited with ultra high performance Michelin PS2 tyres that are 205/45/16 whereas the option for buying these with tyres are with 195/45/16? Will they still fit my tyres?
