Alpina

Alpina Alloy Wheel Repair Specialists

Alpina wheels are some of the most recognisable and prestigious in the automotive world — famous for their classic multi-spoke “Turbine” design, deep dish profiles, diamond-cut outer lips, and signature Alpina metallic silver, anthracite, and blue finishes. These wheels are engineered for both elegance and performance, but their fine spokes, polished surfaces, and complex geometry also make damage more visible and more technical to repair.

At Alloy Wheel Repair, we specialise in restoring Alpina wheels for models such as the B3, B5, B7, XD3, and classic E30/E34/E39 Alpina vehicles, ensuring they retain their iconic OEM look and structural integrity.

Why Alpina Owners Choose Us

• Specialists in Classic and Modern Alpina Designs - Multi-spoke and turbine wheels require precision sanding, masking, and uniform refinishing — a process we’ve mastered.
• OEM Matching for Alpina Colours & Finishes - Including metallic silvers, hyper-silver tones, satin finishes, and signature Alpina dual-tone styles.
• Diamond-Cut Lip Restoration - Many Alpina wheels feature polished or CNC-cut outer lips; we restore them using true diamond-cut machining for a factory appearance.
• High-End Wheel Knowledge - Alpina owners expect perfection — and so do we.
• Lifetime Warranty on All Paintwork - Peace of mind for rare and premium wheels.

Common Alpina Wheel Damage

• Kerb Rash on Multi-Spoke Turbine Wheels - Damage is highly visible on narrow, exposed edges.
• Corrosion on Diamond-Cut Lips - Classic Alpina wheels often show “white worming” under the clearcoat.
• Stone Chips on Metallic Silver or Hyper-Silver Finishes - Especially around the centre bowl and outer spokes.
• Bent Wheels from NZ Road Conditions - Low-profile Alpina setups frequently suffer buckles.
• Cracks on Older or Deep-Dish Alpina Rims - Particularly on heavy vehicles or hard-driven cars.

Repair Types

• Curbed / Kerb Rash Repair - Precision reshaping and refinishing for multi-spoke and turbine edges.
• Scuffs, Scratches & Paint Chips - From minor touch-ups to full-face refinishing.
• Bent / Buckled Wheel Straightening - Restoring geometry to tight Alpina tolerances.
• Crack Repair & Structural Welding - Inspection and safe repair where appropriate.
• Diamond-Cut & Polished Lip Restoration - True CNC machining to replicate original Alpina cut-depth and reflectivity.
• Full Colour Matching & Custom Refinishing - Alpina metallic silver, hyper silver, anthracite, satin finishes, or custom colours.
• Corrosion Removal & Clearcoat Failure Restoration - Full strip, prepare, refinish and re-seal for long-term durability.

Technical (for enthusiasts)

Alpina wheels involve specialised considerations:

• Turbine/Multi-Spoke Structural Complexity - Requires careful blasting and refinishing to avoid uneven build or trapped media between spokes.
• Diamond-Cut Profiles - Many Alpina wheels use polished/diamond-cut lips that must be replicated with exact cut depth and curvature to preserve authenticity.
• Older Alpina Alloys - Castings from classic models can be softer or fatigued; heat management during repair is essential.
• Two-Tone Finishes - Some modern Alpina wheels use contrast machining + metallic paint, demanding precise masking and multi-stage refinishing.
• Higher Load Ratings on Alpina Performance Models - Straightening and crack repairs must be completed to strict performance tolerances.

Our refinishing processes ensure Alpina wheels retain both their iconic appearance and their functional strength.
