Alpina wheels? Or what is this?

[BMW3.0CSi]

Hi all,

not sure if this car is from one of the members here, but does anyone know what kind of wheels these are? The outer ring looks like Alpina, it has the center Alpina cap, but it looks like it has a ‘bolt on’ center? Not original Alpina to what I know? are they ‘custom made’?

thx!

Weds?

I have both in shop- but the pics aren’t clear enough to tell what you have.

They aren't the real Alpinas or accurate copies. Much different...

This are the ones indeed! Is this original BMW? What brand is it? Or how are the called?

Hang on folks!

1. They aren’t Weds. Weds faces are flat.

2. They aren’t H&B. H&B have raised spokes.

3. Alpina did manufacture three piece alloys without the every-other-spoke-hole-filled design(@tferrer post). The faces are concave as well.

4. This style of wheel was made by many companies, particular Japanese companies like SSR and Enkei. You can generally identify them by the shape of the spoke around the 20 bolts. You can also note the curvature of the face, and if the hub hole has a raised lip or not. The wheel is often referred to as a “fins”. Weds are referred to as Bavaria or Albinos.


5. I don’t know what they are either, but I don’t think they aren’t any of the ones mentioned in this post. They could be Alpina but the face is sitting on the lip. If they are Alpina I would assume that the lips aren’t original.

Weds:

H&B (note that 4x100 has 16 spokes not 20).

Genuine Alpina, different style than what @tferrer posted. Not the best pic, but I have marveled over these in person and I know they are genuine. Car is owned by a forum member.

SSR Fin:

Enkei Fin

As previously posted, I can provide these Alpina reproductions

in Aluminum, only the centers or complete rims in most sizes

My similar looking Compomotive BM600s to add more confusion to the flames.
