that looks shite on those wheels, looks like a pimp my ride car.

I like the wheels...don't think it looks bad just under wheeled.....They need to be a size bigger maybe......There is another on Alfa wheels some where and saw that in the flesh and it looked OK...

 

[Easyplan66]

they do look at bit small, not sure if I like them.

i do like the wheels, they small but looks alright.....

Those are not Alfa, they are not the regular Teletials, as they have small round holes between the lager ones on the rim where as the Alfa Teledials have triangular holes....I am such a nerd!

 

[dem maser]

your right, i should know i had them on mine......

 

[GransportFan1]

well done there Matt, bit of Alfa detective work.

 

[Andyk]

Are they not a 147 type wheel..Not original tele dials no but Alfa have bought out many different types since the GTV....If not just some replica then..

Guys

Those are definitely Alfa wheels. I bought a set to put on a 166 I bought about 8 years ago and guess what?

My old car is also on PH still with my wheels on there:

I like them - they are 17" wheels out of the Alfa catalogue at the time.
Not sure I'd have them on a QP though!

I'm a purist when it comes to wheels. Maserati alloys for Maseratis. Alfa alloys for Alfas.

In any case, why would you want to cheapen the look of a Maser with Alfa wheels when there are so many Trident alloys to choose from?

Having said that, it's all personal taste at the end of the day. As long as you're the owner and happy with the decision, then so be it.

Thank god I was wrong, nerd status revoked!

What was your 166 like...I have always had a soft spot for them..Great value now.

I had two 3.0 Sportronics and loved them both.

Great cruiser and loads of car for the money when bought at a couple of years old.
Bit nose heavy if you corner"enthusiastically" but a fine car nonetheless.

In fact I am thinking of buying another just as a run around. £2000 or so and if it breaks just throw it away and get another!

We'll see.

3.0 V6 in the 166, one of my fave engines, they are a bargain now the 166.

rare colour, looks a bit pimp my ride as it has been lowered a little too much IMO.

The body kit was available through Alfa although it says Zender...
