Need help about early Alpina 3 spoke wheel

[bzuva]

Recently I came across an Alpina wheel, but not so sure is it original or not, so here's the only pic I have of it. The alpina logo is not engraved, but it's some sort of a decal. Any help on the price estimation?

Can anyone help about this one?

Nice!

Can you tell whether it's original or not?

Looks like the flat version of the Momo Prototipo wheel. Hopefully it's about 380mm diameter. That's my favorite size wheel for the '02. The dished type Prototipos are much easier to come by and are only 350mm diameter. What's it worth? Whatever you're willing to pay for it. To get an idea of a price, the dished Prototipos sell for around $200 new. Whether it's a real Alpina wheel (which were made by Momo anyway) is anyones guess. The Alpina wheels that I own have the Alpina logo stamped into the metal on the wheel, not a sticker. Good luck,

John

Thanks John! I've already bought it, the price was around 15 bucks Anyways, I'm not going to sell it, maybe I'm gonna put it until I find a Nardi one...

What's the diameter of that wheel? $15 was a steal,

As previously stated, never seen one with a "sticker", I will say the font on the sticker looks about right though. Every one I have see the "ALPINA" logo was engraved (or stamped). Numerous examples in my blog - use the seatch and you will find. Good deal for $15 though.

Mark, I'm amazed by your blog, thanks for sharing! I've seen it before, when I bought the wheel, but now, while browsing through it, I'm like a kid in a candy store!

Thanks glad you like. I think nearly 500 posts or close to that. Some of the best info comes from comments where additional info and or links get posted. Been really busy lately so not much time to post up stuff and have so much back logged (probably a couple of years of material). I try not to post up meaningless stuff, because at the end of the day anyone can post up images. I will say it does take an awful lot of time to do, but therapeutic when no time and or money to work on the ALPINA car.

I disagree with Mark´s opinion - sorry Mark. I consider the wheel shown by bzuva on the photo above as original.

Two "types" existing - engraved and printed, both based on Momo Prototipo. Mine is printed, too (and a little overtouched so to say) and was approved original when I took it with me for a visit at Alpina Buchloe factory some time ago.
