Hi guys. What do you guys think of alpina replicas like in the link below? I can't decide between it and miro 111. Comments are highly appreciated. Thank you.

Those are nice, but... I am a big fan of Miro 111.

Those reps look nice, but I like the MiRo's better

Are those alpina reps durable? It also depends on what look you are going for. Miros look hot and sporty, but the alpinas are very classy. I voted for the Alpinas. They look like quality reps, but that's only judging from pics. Ask around about their quality and hopefully you get to see them in person before you make the decision. Good luck!

I'm not sure about the quality and durability. But I think it just comes from taiwan like the miro?

I can't imagine trying to keep the Alpinas clean.

I think the Alpina wheels, if powder coated to a nice gunmetal, will look killer. Follow the road less traveled. Keeping the the Alpina reps clean is no different than keeping any set of wheels clean.

Miros all the way. Those alpinas belong on a 7 with grandpa in it.

Unless someone drove me around in my E60, I'd go with the Miros! :)

Thank you for all the comments. Wow there are a lot of miro fans. But, I'm more or less decided on the Alpinas and to follow the road less traveled as devildawg said.

Here's my other question. What tire size should I get?
Front rims are 20x8.5 offset 20
Rear 20x9.5 offset 25

Should it be Front 245/35/20 and Rear 275/30/20?

Thanks.

Wow this available in 20"?? I have the 19"..
Love this rim, classy look from the side but have an agressive concave look from front..
This would be perfect if the rear is 10" width..
