I'm researching Alfa wheels for a 1999 2.0 GTV.

Other than eBay are there any good sites where one could purchase original Alfa wheels?

Here is a picture of the Alfa I am looking to work on, what are peoples opinions of original Alfa wheels that have been coated black on this type of vehicle?

Also what is the name of these wheels, I don’t seem to be able to track it down using good old Google!




Thanks

EB Spares have some GTA wheels which I think would look nice, but IMHO wouldn't paint them black.

There is a thread running over on Alfa Owner you may want to check out...

Although I think their site maybe down at the moment.

Those aren't OEM Alfa wheels I don't think. I wonder if you are thinking about the black Speedlines fitted on the 155?


Note the Spider/GTV have a slightly different offset than the more common 147/156/GT wheels. They do bolt on but technically they are incorrect. Whether you are bothered is up to you!

You could try Alfa breakers like

I made the mistake of buying cheapish secondhand 147 wheels for a GTV once and then having to buy expensive hubcentric spacers to get them to sit right...

Some good links there, never seen them before although I know Richard from alfabetta through AO and he delivered parts to my door himself once!

Mine's the same zoe yellow colour and it looks much better with silver alloys.
