New 2011 F10 Alpina B5 spy photos. Testing new wheel design?

The 2011 Alpina B5 (F10) has previously been spotted undergoing testing around Alpina's headquarters, and it continues to undergo testing as shown in these new photos. What's interesting about these new photos is the new set of front wheels, which is possibly a new Alpina wheel design? Alpina has traditionally stuck to a narrow range of its traditional wheel designs for its cars and this is no Alpina design we've seen before. The previous B5 test cars spotted featured all wore the Alpina Dynamic wheels. Or, perhaps we're simply looking at a random set of test wheels (such as what the rear wheels appear to be).

As seen elsewhere in the photos, the B5 will feature an Alpina front bumper lip, sideskirts, quad exhaust, and raised trunk lid. The new B5 is expected to be based on the F10 550i, with a reworked 4.4L N63 motor (V8 twin turbo).
