Wheels for 156

[dr chuff]

I'm thinking of replacing the 8 hole pepperpot wheels for teledials.

Any ideas on size (16" or 17") or where to buy them?
I see there are sets in Brum and Yorks, but somewhere nearer (Surrey) would be good.

Also, since mine is a Lusso, will it still look too high?

7 x 17" was a dealer option with 215/45/17 tyres. The 17" Alfa wheels are very strong but very heavy and do nothing for the ride comfort at all. (I have them and can put up with it, a friend swapped his back to 16s as he couldn't).
16" is the better driving compromise but don't look quite as good.
Any 147 or 156 alloy will fit. GTV, Spider and 166 won't fit, or may fit but will have the wrong offset.
Lussos still look like they are on stilts I'm afraid which ever wheels they are on.

Think you're right there - 156/147 wheels will go on a GTV/Spider, but with spacers. So, probably won't work t'other way.

You should be able to buy a reasonable set of 16" Teledials on eBay or one of the Alfa Owners Club forums.
