I am looking to purchase a set of correct CSL Alpina wheels with only the 5 lug holes and not the BMW wheels with the extra smaller 5 holes. Let me know what you have!
TIA,

There is only one and 100% correct CSL wheel : the one RonP is looking for.
All other versions / variants ( including the 7x14 Mahle - BMW wheels offered by BMW Motorspot GmbH ) are "equipment" wheels.
The wheels on my coupe have ALPINA stamped into them and have 5 bolt holes and 5 small holes. I always thought they are authentic Alpina wheels.
as far as i know, there are three versions, one is the bmw fps rims alpina look, second is the alpina rims with ten holes, five big five small, and third is the alpina rims with five big holes, it is clear that you want these last ones
I thought original equipment CSL wheels changed from the first to the third (apina 5 + 5) noted above sometime in the 74 MY, no?
Interesting question! For what it's worth, the BMW Museum restored the second-series Bat 4355046 with 10-hole wheels. I've also seen them on a number of other second-series Bats.

There were 3 types of Alpinas 14x7 factory installed on the CSLs: an early type with a rather sharp bed for the early carbs, a second "improved" type as shown on the picture from Michael with end number 344 and a third type as introduced around sept.73 with the BMW logo, Alpina marking and end number 345. All the wheels with the extra small holes came after 1975.
