Sunbeam Alpine
The Sunbeam Alpine rolled out of the factory on 13-inch steel wheels throughout its production run, typically measuring 13x4.5 inches on early models and 13x5 inches on later variants. These British sports cars used a distinctive 4x4.25-inch bolt pattern (108mm metric), which was shared with several other Rootes Group vehicles of the era. Factory offset was around +20mm to +25mm, giving the Alpine its characteristic stance with the wheels tucked nicely into the fender wells.
For your Alpine, VTO Wheels offers perfect compatibility with our 4x108mm bolt pattern options in multiple sizes. You can stick with the original 13-inch diameter in our 13x5.5, 13x6, or 13x7 widths for that authentic period look, or step up to 14x5.5, 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, or 15x7 sizes for improved tire selection and handling. Our offset range of -7mm to +38mm gives you plenty of flexibility to dial in the perfect fitment for your build.
The Alpine was Sunbeam's answer to cars like the MG MGA and Triumph TR3, offering British roadster charm with surprisingly good build quality for the era. These cars have developed a devoted following among vintage sports car enthusiasts, especially Series V models with the 1725cc engine. Whether you're restoring a survivor or building a weekend canyon carver, the right wheel setup makes all the difference in both looks and performance.

Frequently Asked Questions
| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| What's the factory bolt pattern on a Sunbeam Alpine? | Sunbeam Alpines use a 4x4.25-inch bolt pattern, which converts to 4x108mm in metric. VTO Wheels stocks this exact 4x108mm bolt pattern in multiple sizes, so you'll have no compatibility issues with our vintage aluminum wheels. |
| What VTO Wheels sizes fit my Sunbeam Alpine? | For stock replacement, try our 13x5.5 or 13x6 wheels. Popular upgrades include 14x6, 15x6, 15x6.5, and 15x7 sizes - all available in 4x108mm bolt pattern. The 15x7 setup is especially popular for autocross and spirited driving builds. |
| Do I need hub-centric rings for VTO Wheels on my Alpine? | Most likely yes. Sunbeam Alpines typically have a center bore around 63.3mm, but VTO Wheels are manufactured with a larger universal center bore. We recommend measuring your hub diameter and using proper hub-centric rings for the smoothest ride and optimal wheel centering. |
| What offset should I run on my Sunbeam Alpine? | Factory offset was around +20mm to +25mm for the stock look. VTO Wheels offers offsets from -7mm to +38mm, so you can run anywhere from +15mm to +30mm for a great street setup. Lower offsets will push the wheels out for a more aggressive stance, while higher offsets keep things conservative. |
