Lorinser vs Alpina

Which one would you pick: The Mercedes-Benz Lorinser S or the BMW Alpina B7?

Stock Alpina rims aren't so bad, there is a B7 around Yonge area that I have seen and the rims look really nice in person but then again the choice of aftermarket rims is so vast, it's hard for anyone to be satisfied with one design. I do think though that the M3 stock rims were one of the best (looking) stock rims ever made.

Another vote for the B7, I guess not a lot of people are fans of the Lorinser S Class? What about the AMG series, no votes for that either?

Here's what you're comparing, and well, the BMW M6 that I've included gets my vote as car I'd buy IF I had money.

The rims are nice up close...plus they are functional. Alpina realized that valve stems can be compromised at over 300km/h. The solution, callrry air through a hollow spoke. The air filler is under the centre cap which swivels off.

B7 may be a better performer but that new AMG S63 is friggin badass and to think Lorinser makes it more badass well...Sorry I'd go with the S.

And I own a 7 LOL

The BMW M series are in a class of their own and I would think IF anyone had the money to buy a BMW, they would definately pick one of the M's. That said, M6 is in no comparison to the other two, on the other hand, few days ago, I saw the Maybach 57, now that's another option (as a 4 door).
