Member Post nr. 179 Sacramento CA 81 320	OZ also manufactured Alpina replica wheels in the correct width and offset for E21s - 15x6 & 15x7, et12 offset. They're very similar in appearance, but have a larger diameter center hub section than Alpinas, and the center cap is quite a bit different (it's a flat disk that snaps into a raised "nipple" from the back, where Alpina's use a plastic cap that snaps in from the front). My 320 had Alpinas on it when I got it (which I foolishly traded away) - I was fortunate enough to find a set of OZ's, which are on the car now.
