Hi all, I've seen these wheels for sale but haven't come across them before:

Can anyone confirm what they are?

Thanks

I cant find anything looking exactly the same, nor do they ring a bell as Alfa originals, maybe they were a rarely selected option?

There are some BBS rims which looks similar, some vaguely similar giovannas as well, but what these are..

Thanks Vitorio.. I'm stumped too.. The ad mentions GTV but they're new to me.

I'm thinking about buying them for my GT but unsure if they would suit the car or not

Id imagine they'd look similar to this

, although with slightly harder lines, depending on the colour it might work, or it might not

What do you currently have, and what colour is your car?

Not sure, but given the centre of the wheels and the overall design, they look like AZEV wheels to me (def. not from Alfa themselves).

They don't ring a bell as genuine Alfa wheels.

Would wheels for a GTV fit a GT?
Even if they bolt on, I thought the offset was different?

Can anyone confirm if the wheels will fit? Would there be a problem with offset?

The bolt pattern/centerhole is the same, but from what i can find the offset on the GTV is 30mm, 37 on the GT, so there should be some wheels which will work on both, but putting low offset wheels on the GT will result on the wheels standing out of the arches a bit too much, and potentially more wrong load on the wheelbearings, so more wear on those, and potentially the steering might be impact a tiny little bit.

Yes GTV wheels will fit. GT has bigger arches so the differing offset won't be an issue.

The wheels you're considering aren't OEM alfa though, I think they're pretty horrible TBH. Seller doesn't mention width or PCD either. As they have 215 section tyres I'd suspect they 7.5" wide, which isn't an issue - The OEM 18" options were 8" wide.

PCD may be though, Most aftermarket alloys wheels are 100mm PCD rather than the 98mm PCD many Alfa's use, meaning wobble bolts are often required to fit them.

Those are not genuine alfa wheels, they are TSW Kyalami wheels
