The 20" wheels are the Alpina Classic design with covered hardware. They are not identical to each other.
Production has already begun and Michelin still does not show the front tires as available so unless they're bogarting all the 21" wheels for US orders until Oct, the guides need to be corrected ASAP.

I knew it!
I was wondering how the heck the ordering guide showed 255/35-21 and 295/30-21 but yet, no company knew anything about those sizes (I had HRE dig and dig!!)! |
I posted this and included a portion of an internal email that showed the available dates in another thread a while back but can't find the attachment (mods may have been asked to remove) and it's not on my phone either to my surprise.
The order guide lists 2 styles:
C15 (Classic - 15th Design Version) for 20"
CS16 (Classic Sport - 16th Design Version) for 21"
20" tires are available in DOT spec now, 21" are at this time. RoW Spec 21" are available...an entire 2 tires right now. I think I know how this will play out to keep buyers happy and stay on the current schedule, especially for Euro Deliveries.
