Hi John

BK make cheap imitations of various higher spec alloys and sell pretty well over here to the Ford/Toyota crowd. Main difference with the BK wheel tot he Alpina is the fact that the BK doesn't have the hidden valve as per the Alpina rim.Otherwise I believe they dont have any serious vices ...prob from the same factory! Ive just discovered my Hartge Classics 19" are made by Ronal...so what do I know!!

Good luck

I have been looking at a set of Alpina wheels for the beast and ran accross a company called BK Racing out of England. They have a very similar looking wheel at a very reasonable price.

Anyone have experience with this brand?

Also:
Are Alpina wheels forged or cast? what makes them so expensive if they're not forged?

Thanks,
John Antokol
