Info on wheels wanted

Post by Wondermike »

I bought a car with these wheels on it, 20 spoke 16" Alpina style made by R.G.
Centercaps are not the official ones.
Only thing is the KBA number 41518 that gives away something but not much info on that so far.
There aren't much 16" Alpina immitations around.

Does anyone know this manufacturer RG?

I think that you should take this question to the e30 forums!
Understeer is when you hit the wall with the front of the car and oversteer is when you hit the wall with the rear of the car. Horsepower is how fast you hit the wall. Torque is how far you take the wall with you.

RG's were the "Only" wheel to look exactly like the Alpina16" wheel.
Very rare nowadays, even more than the Origional Alpina.
IIRC these are made by an Italina company.

Thanks for the info and your memory is still ok, found some info just now on a german forum.
I have soms extra and original info about the Firm RG from the ABE
Deutschland.

Herstellerangaben zur ABE 41518 :

Inhaber der Allgemeinen Betriebserlaubnis 41518 für Sonderräder 7 J x 16 H2 Typ RG 8-046 ist die Firma :

R.G. di Rivi Gianni & C. s.n.c.
I-42020 San Polo d´Enza
Italien

So no Ronal aber RG Italia.

Still they are very nice copies of the Alpina.

Well because the car will be wrecked (total patchwork body) the wheels will go on ebay.
