A photo was posted on FB showing a type of steel wheel I’ve not seen on an Alpine before, and I’m wondering if it’s just my lack of visual experience or it truly is odd. The slots on the red car’s wheels are much thinner - slits rather then slots, really - and yet the hubcap bumps are there and the domed hub appearance looks correct. Have a look at these photos and see what you think... are they original? ... or did they maybe come from some other Rootes variant?
The wheels and car in question:
Here are the sort of wheels I’m used to seeing on later Alpines (admittedly, the earliest Alpines had round-ish holes in lieu of slots):
