I would say there 15"

top one in MISSY's pic has 16's

the bottom one you can see looks smaller with different shape (slightly due to the smaller dia involved) spokes

Look the same as my 15" hartges, the tyre profile is to big for them to be 16's. Quite rare, buy em.

OK ......dumb question time :stupid:

Does anyone know why the centres are different on these two wheels?
How come the bottom one appears to have a lock arrangement similar to the genuine Alpina's while the other has a 'clip-on' arrangement like the Alpina rep's?

^ The clip on is plastic = lighter.
