Alpina Alloys

Post Wed Apr 10, 2013 9:10 pm

I am looking to purchase a set of 16in genuine Alpina alloys for an e30, can anyone please tell me what serial number/markings i should look out for to prove they are genuine Alpina.
Thanks in advance
David.

Should have Alpina stamped on them under the centre cap. RoyalRatch had a set of five with conti tyres for £900

Easy way to check, they have 20 spokes are 16" and don't have RG written around the wheel bolt holes. Only one company made replicas in 16" and it was RG. RGs also have a screw hole for securing the caps, alpinas do not.

Thanks for the very helpful information. It is good to know before purchasing.

Use the search function if you want to find somebody or any previous posts on a subject. It's well worth reading the wiki front to back as is reading the restoration bible.
