found these, one of the very few after market wheels for the 166.
whaddya think? i really like them, and the price is none too shabby either.

Not genuine Alfa cloverleafs though?

EDGE

They look very stock. What have you got now?

CJ-IROCZ

they look very nice indeed, almost as if the car was designed to wear them.

I like 'em, but don't know what you have now in comparison

Pod

Have the original Alfa wheels broken as well?

They look ok, but personally I'm not a fan of the circle pattern. Have to see what the current ones look like in comparison.

EDGE

like this i believe..



the new ones are FAR Superior....

EDGE

could probably do with lowering a bit too dude... always makes the car look nicer...

EDGE

you bought them yet... slacker.....

correctamondo edge, those are the wheels i have..

as for lowering, as its the sport its already 40mm lower than the lusso and base models, apparently you cant go any lower.

just checking tyre prices, the bare rims are £395 or the wheel / tyre pckage is £695

nope the cloverleafs (known as teledials) were not available for the 166, and true to form, the 166 has a one model only fitment, so no others from the alfa range will fit, even more annoyingly, the wheels are different between 4 cylinder and V6 to go over the V6's mahoosive brembo brakes. (even though the wheels look identical between 4 and 6 cyl)  

you can put V6 wheels on a 2 liter, but not the other way round..

EDGE

enough talk.... you bought them or what... they look FAR superior... might even cheer the thing up, looks like its chewing a nettle

philoldsmobile
