These don't look like real Alpina wheels
I'm certainly not an expert, but 'ALPINA' is cast into the part of the center hub that is painted black for the rears - et24. But, the fronts - et11 do not have that, and one of them is shown with "RONAL" cast into the back side of a spoke. Thus, maybe two are and two aren't????
Ronal is the exclusive manufacturer of Alpina wheels .

Alpinas
Genuine Alpinas are very soft, it is easy to obliterate the hub detail if the refurbishment process is done inappropriately!
I speak from experience
I think they're probably genuine.

these don't look like a staggered set...
look again...
They appear to be staggered to me.

They definitely look staggered, which would explain the et24. I was planning on buying the same set, but the guy sold them to his friend. They were 16x7 et11 and 16x8 et24. These eBay wheels look genuine. A lot of the reps are 21 spoke instead of 20.
