Lol! So they finally switch to forged wheels instead of the shit cast iron wheels they've always had but then decrease the size to 20in.

Man if they can get 600hp out of the V8, the tuning potential on the new V12 is going to be unreal.

Wow! That's quick! The back seat looks like a very nice place to spend time in.

Is the pin striping part of the Package? Not good, but I'd love to drive it!

It needs to be at least 21". These 20s do not look good enough.

I'm sure it was an economic decision lol. 21's would have cut into that already absurd premium haha.

The Alpina's aerodynamic body add on's and take on BMW vehicles have always been amazing looking. Very conservative look with their vision and never overdone. The same wheel style generation after generation works everytime too which is awesome, they stick with what works and it doesn't get boring or make me think "why do they keep putting the same wheels on it."

They already charge an insane premium. The 21in wheels would have cut too deep into their profit margin. I'm sure they negotiated a nice supply contract with the wheel manufacturer and the 21in was simply not cost effective. They should have changed the design since those wheels look much better in the larger size.
