Lucan 196 Report post Posted July 4, 2011 I heard Genuine Alpina's have 20 spokes.. Pictures of the centers stamps could confirm too? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Cale 36 Report post Posted July 4, 2011 Genuine Alpinas have 20 spokes, copies have 19. And yeah, should be Alpina cast in the lug area. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andre3000 55 Report post Posted July 5, 2011 Supposed to be these but by looking at the lack of stamped details on the wheels in question id say they're fake. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sam@TMBMW 0 Report post Posted July 7, 2011 Alpina dont have bolts in the middle of spokes Some of the later styles come as a split rim. You can tell they're fake as they have a valve cap exiting the rim lip, not the wheel centre as with all later Alpina wheels. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
