Alpina wheels, or "Alpinas" are 20-spoke alloys. They came in a small variety of sizes, the most common being the 16" 7j. They were available in 16" 7J for the front and 16" 8J for the rear axle and 16" 8J font and rear M3 only. Offset for the 7J is 28. Tire-Size is 205/50/16 for the 7J and 225/45/16 for the 8J. Spare parts are still available from Alpina.
The most common Alpina replicas are the 19-spoke BK Racing reps.
