a chap local to me was advertising CSL Alpinas for sale, two sets. Finally got over to see them last night, one set of 10 hole rims, and one set of 5 hole rims. From reading various posts on this site (thanks team!) I understand 5 hole Alpinas would have been OE for my city pack CSL, so I bought them. From speaking to a PO, my car's original alloys were given away (!) in the 80s when the current 15" Rials were fitted.
So, tell me what I have bought!? Paint is pretty thick so the lettering is hard to read. On the front I see:
Alpina
7J x 14H2
1110344
2800200
(Lettering is raised)
On the back the date stamp is 9/72 on two wheels, one is 8/72 and one is 7/72. Is it normal for mixed manufacture dates, or do I have a mixed set?
Condition is mixed, they're quite pitted and have obviously seen some action! But they have also been painted and then stored. They'll need a good refurb I think, particularly with the pitting near the tyre's bead I wonder if they'd hold pressure at present.

Valves
Hubcaps
Tyres
Lug nuts
Plus a 5th rim of some kind, to go in the boot as a spare
