Could I ask which wheels you have on your 156 ?
Do they fit as a direct replacement to the 16" teledials ?

They are superb & suit the car very well !!
Those are the 17" Sport wheels, or more often called 17" Selespeeds (as opposed to the identical 16" Selespeed!). I had them on my 156 too and I think they suit the car really well. They were an option on the 147 and will bolt straight on to the 156. Tyres were 215/45/17.
+1 - I thought that car looked nice with those wheels, much more suitable IMO for a subtle 156 than GTA wheels. GTA wheels should stay on a GTA with the full body styling to complement!

Cheers pal, I bought it from a fellow Pisonhead/Alfa Owner member a few weeks ago, it's my 3rd 156, so you could say I was addicted.

The car is in great condition. The second owner kept it in a dehumidifed garage with a Ducatti 916! so it shows it pays to keep searching for th occasional diamond, lets hope it stays trouble free!

Very nice!! bow

There was a red 156 GTA SW for sale in Leeds recently for about £5500.It was on ebay and am not sure if it sold.

I love my 156, especially now I have fixed the damn wipers. Thank god for crashed Fiat Mareas!

HA, same exterior as mine barring the low rise wing.

Disagree (politely) with the comments above regarding GTA wheels. I find a lot of wheel designs tend to get lost in the body (even 17" wheels) on the 156, and the GTA Teledials are the few charismatic enough (probably due to the satin finish, dark silver and the pronounced facing which takes them closer to 18") to cut through. They also protrude slightly for that 'arches full' look.

GTA wheels FTW

Gents just joined pistonheads forum. Been a lurker for many years but decided to bite the bullet and post up!

I drive a 156 Alfa this is it below... You either love or hate the colour whistle Not seen too many like it as it also has tan leather... It looks very good in the flesh, so to speak!





Anyone going to the Auto Italia show in may, if so i'll sees you around hopefully!
