As per Blitz post, the valve gives is away.
If you want to be 100% sure that they are reps pull of the centre cap (which also looks fake) and look for an Alpina stamp

The spoke with the valve is hollow. They may all be hollow.Hopchop wrote:Good question! hmmm I wonder!Jesus325iTouring wrote:How does the tyre valve work behind the centre cap???

Looking at the amount of stick on weights I would be questioning their history a bit.
