Two easy ways of telling the difference between genuine Ronal Alpina, and BK craplicas. The BK ones have a smooth and curved inner-rim, where genuine Alpenis have a step. Alpinarse also have an Alpina badge in the middle (missing from my example) reps will have a BMW logo.

To be absolutely sure, Alpina have 20 spokes, replicas have only 19.
