Alumetall Nürnberg

An OEM BMW Alpina-style wheel for the e21, but frequently installed post-factory on ‘02’s. This is the later, and more common, of two versions: the spokes meet the center hub independently, without a connection to the adjacent spokes. Although we’ve listed these rims with Alumetall Nürnberg (“Alu”) as the manufacturer, and Germany as the country of origin, the same rims were also manufactured for BMW by Lemmerz (in Germany) and FPS (in Italy). The photo shown is of an Alu example but could be used for rims by the other two manufacturers, but for the manufacturer’s name.

Following are links to the German ‘02 forum, where the difference between the early and late style is explained:
