Exciting news for G2x Alpina B3, B4, D3S and D4S owners!
19” Classic 20 spoke alloy wheels now available!
When the G2x Alpina models were released in 2021 there were only two styles of wheel available, 20” forged Classic 20 spoke and 19” cast Dynamics and a common comment people have made is that it’s a shame the Classic style was not available in the smaller size. Well, that has now been resolved as -classic have recently launched the 20 spoke Classic style forged wheel in 19x8.5 and 19x9.5 sizes (the same size and offset as the 19” Dynamics) available in Oro Tecnico and Hymalaya grey.
Whilst the look of the smaller wheels is subjective, there are physical benefits to using the 19” wheel over a 20” on these models. The 19” forged wheel is lighter than both the 20” forged Classic and the 19” cast Dynamic meaning less un sprung weight, the tyre side wall profile increases from a 30 to a 35 allowing more compliance and finally the tyre pressures on the 19” wheels can be run at 2.3bar for speeds of up to 250kmh/155mph instead of the 20” pressure of 3.4bar only for all speeds.
These three factors combine to improve the ride quality over the 20” wheels and, also make them less susceptible to damage from poor road surfaces (especially here in the UK!) as I’m sure many a G2x Alpina owner can relate to with tyre and/or wheel damage.
We are working with Alpina classic to offer a wheel and tyre package for UK owners with options in tyres and wheel colour and the centre caps from the 20” Classic wheels are compatible with the new 19” Classic wheels so can be reused. We can also offer refinishing in any colour including silver.
As a guide, for a set of 19” Classic wheels with caps in Oro tecnico as pictured, with new valves, Pirelli P zero ALP or Michelin pilot sport 4S tyres and fitting is £4995 inc VAT.
I have personally tested this new set of wheels combined with Michelin Pilot Sport 4S tyres in 255/35/19 and 265/35/19 sizes for over 3000 miles including sustained Autobahn speeds and can report excellent feedback.
