Alpina Wheel ID?


GetOuttaMyWay

Recommended Posts

Can anyone tell me how to identify an Alpina wheel? I have a sneaking suspicion that the 13x6's on my e21 parts car might be Alipina's. They're not 13x5.5 like the OEM turbines. The fin pattern is a lot like the Alpinas, and they have more lip. They don't say Alpina on them anywhere, I think they were made in Italy, ET is 18. Do the real deal rims have Alpina stamped in them?

Ok, here's some pics. I found "OZ" stamped on the inside. Anyone know if they are copies or the real deal? they look killer on my 2002 becaues of the low offset and the 6" width- they fill the wheel wells perfectly.

    BMW Neue Klasse - a birth of a Sports Sedan

    Unveiling of the Neue Klasse Unveiled in 1961, BMW 1500 sedan was a revolutionary concept at the outset of the '60s. No tail fins or chrome fountains. Instead, what you got was understated and elegant, in a modern sense, exciting to drive as nearly any sports car, and yet still comfortable for four.   The elegant little sedan was an instant sensation. In the 1500, BMW not only found the long-term solution to its dire business straits but, more importantly, created an entirely new

    History of the BMW 2002 and the 02 Series

    In 1966, BMW was practically unknown in the US unless you were a touring motorcycle enthusiast or had seen an Isetta given away on a quiz show.  BMW’s sales in the US that year were just 1253 cars.  Then BMW 1600-2 came to America’s shores, tripling US sales to 4564 the following year, boosted by favorable articles in the Buff Books. Car and Driver called it “the best $2500 sedan anywhere.”  Road & Track’s road test was equally enthusiastic.  Then, BMW took a cue from American manufacturers,

    The BMW 2002 Production Run

    BMW 02 series are like the original Volkswagen Beetles in one way (besides both being German classic cars)—throughout their long production, they all essentially look alike—at least to the uninitiated:  small, boxy, rear-wheel drive, two-door sedan.  Aficionados know better.   Not only were there three other body styles—none, unfortunately, exported to the US—but there were some significant visual and mechanical changes over their eleven-year production run.   I’ve extracted t
