German term or phrase: Alu-Felgenstern
I am helping my sister with the translation of her company's website. She knows a lot more about these terms than I do, but there are still a few that we both can't find.
Felgenstern is one of them - is it just the rim?
I found a site with the exact same sentence that she is trying to translate, unfortunately they don't have the English:

star rim


Explanation:
The 'Alu-' probably stands for 'aluminium'

It's unlikely that a rim is made of pure aluminium. Therefore, 'star rim made of aluminium alloy' is a safer bet. Does that fit in the context?

Or: 'star rim made of aluminium alloy frame'

star-design X-spoke alloy wheels (X is the number of spokes if you know how many spokes actual wheel has)

"rim" i sjust a part of a wheel, whould use it in this context

"rim" is just a part of a wheel, would NOT use it in this context. And certainly not "alloy frame"!
