1) Which reps? BK, RG and OZ all manufacture replicas of the original Alpina wheel
2) No wheel will be pure aluminium; that's why they're called alloy. Each manufacturer will use a different chemical alloy to make their wheels, depending on strength, weight and cost.

After owning a set, it's got to be some thing soft on the outside, which means they get damaged easily from curbing, but also something brittle on inside so it cracks on pot holes...
... Conclusion: BK Reps are Dime Bars.
