New BMW Alpina wheel design revealed with 20-spoke changes

BMW Alpina has released a teaser of a new wheel design that retains the brand's signature 20-spoke pattern but introduces noticeable changes. The image shows wheels with diamond-cut faces on the spokes and a glossy black finish in between. It also highlights a convex profile on the outer edges of the spokes, replacing the traditional concave shape.

The 20-spoke design is considered a key element of Alpina's style: the company has used this concept since the 1960s and has repeatedly reworked it in various forms. However, two-tone wheels have not been used on production Alpina models before, so this teaser might signal a further update to the brand's aesthetic.

This publication comes as BMW is set to officially take control of the Alpina brand in 2026. The caption to the teaser emphasizes the intention to preserve the brand's heritage and its recognizable design elements.

The material also mentions reports about future BMW Alpina projects under the conglomerate's management. These include a possible new B7 model based on the BMW 7 Series with a V8 engine, as well as BMW's registration of the XB8 trademark, which could hint at an expansion of the lineup.
