I guess I forgot that the current M5 Competition Package wheels are cast alloy instead of forged alloy like the regular M5 wheels. At least they give you a choice and you can opt for the forged alloy wheels instead.)
They have beautiful forged alloy wheels on their Edition 50 cars that are very much Alpina wheels, just slightly different but much lighter in weight and more modern looking.

This rendering is going to be close to production. Alpina is pretty conservative in design. They always use the non-M Sport bumpers and have the same ground effects / wheel designs. I don't think the wheels are going to change in the next few decades. It's an iconic wheel design.
I think the render is beautiful, luxury meets speed.
