16 Inch Wheel Option

I have just been told the 16 inch O spoke Wheel's are going to put my build week back to Week 15 ( 7th April ) which would mean delivery end of April

Does anybody know if any of the other 16 inch wheels are available now??

Re: 16 Inch Wheel Option

Announced by Fiat last Friday (and also posted in this near-identical thread ):

Alloy Wheels
Option 420 available from April production.
Option 421 not available until September production.
Option 435 no longer a delay in ordering these.
No mention of 16" O-Spokes anywhere...

...which includes the price list!

421s are still on the configurator, but 420s aren't.

With so many different sources of information (website/brochure/price list) all showing different things it's almost impossible to know what is actually available and what is not available/delayed when it comes to alloys

O.K, it makes sense now (thanks for helping me clear it up today seadragon )...

...420s are the 16" 5 O-Spoke Alloys. The picture in the price list (the Excel format dealership one) that has 420 next to it is of a 16" Sport Alloy that is not available in the UK market.

There are only three different types:

420 - 16" 5 O-Spoke (available from April production)
421 - 16" 7-Holes with Spokes (available from September production)
435 - 16" Multispoke (no delay)

Sorry for any confusion I may have caused!

Re: 16 Inch Wheel Option

More likely the first week in May (week-commencing Monday 5th) but it could be the end of April.

Re: 16 Inch Wheel Option

16" multi spokes look great with red calipers 'cos you get the red centre ring as well. Finishes 'em of nicely

Re: 16 Inch Wheel Option

Any idea which wheel option is the most 'see-through', i.e. you can see lots of the road though them?

Ive picked the 16" Multispoke, but i'm wondering if the O-spoke ones are nicer in real life.
