The official "What is this wheel?" thread.

some scrub on craigslist is claiming these wheels are 2002 alpina wheels for a wikkid low price. Legit or knockoffs?

No Dice. That is an OEM E21 wheel. I have a set i will give you if you want them. Alpina never put the mutli spoke design on 2002s. They made 2 applications for the E21, 13x6, 13x6.5 staggered and a 15 inch which is what your second pic is of. All the E21 wheels have the wrong offset for the 2002 but can be made to fit.

The only wheels Alpina put on street 2002s are 13" steel wheels.


The main visible differences between the OEM E21 wheel and real Alpinas are the stepped spokes (their sides are not flat) and the ring around the center of the wheel is raised higher than the spokes.

What diameter are the wheels on CL?
Also real Alpinas have "Alpina" in the center part and "Ronal" on the rear.

[AC Nico]

its just another diameter. the ones in the first pic are 13 or 14", the ones in the second pic are much bigger.

also the ones in the first pic have 20 spokes like oem alpina.

I was thinking they might be fake because after a quick google search of 2002 alpina wheels this pic came up... Im not really sure though.

16's, came off an e30, no more info on type/make
Any guesses?


Borbet type T?

NOT Borbet Type-T. They are just shitty cheap wheels. Could be any of a dozen companies from the era.

Anyone ID the rims in this pic? I love em!!

Appear to be fully polished Hartge's without caps.

Just picked a set of these up for winter tires. Anyone know what they are?

They still have the BMW Itala sticker on the barrel. Google returns no results with the numbers on the wheel.

Look like an Alpina rep that was common in the 80's and into the 90's.
With that offset they are an E21 fitment.

What are these?

Those are BMW E39 M5 wheels or most likely replicas.
They are commonly referred to as "tuning forks".

These are the wheels my car had on it when I bought it and I don't know what they are. Anybody have an idea?

Sportmax 006.

Chris Castro guessed sportmax. True? What model? I want to try to source BMW center caps.

What did I find?



Ad says "M5 style wheels", came from a 330ci. Was thinking about those + adapters + stretch on my touring.
