As some of you guys may or may not know I have been on the look out for the 18" sport alloys. They are like gold dust. So I've took to looking at aftermarket alloys.
What do you guys reckon to these?

I chose these because although they are big they are also light. Which will be better for fuel economy ect. I cover a fair few miles.

I have a Silver Bravo. I'm in two minds as to which colour will go best. What do you guys think?

Also does anyone know what other tyre sizes will fit this alloy. 225/40/18 are an expensive size.

Sorry to say but I dont like them... Youre better of just waiting for the Propa 18"/19" Alloys to come around...

Or even contact some people who are selling Fiat Bravo with those alloys and offer them £500 cash including you're alloys you have on your car now... :rolleyes:
 
I know what you mean... I would much rather have the proper fiat alloys but I've been keeping an eye out for about 5 month and now I'm impatient.
I've tried what you suggest too. Offer always get declined :(

I plan to paint the Wolfrace alloys matt black except the spokes. I tried to replicate it..... Try not to pi$$ yourself laughing at my MS Paint skills haha

I was in the same boat as you after considering buying other alloy wheels I came to a conclusion that I would rather be better of buying these: " But didnt buy them in the end since I brought the headunit" lol

What you think of these ?

Yeah I think they are alright. I've seen them on many alloy sites and cannot find any info on how much they weigh. Leading me to believe they will be on they heavy side.
Moving from Fiat 16" to the Fiat 17" two tone alloys although they look a hell of alot better I notice the weight difference made for a noticeable drop in mpg.
I was going to opt for lighter alloys this time around.

How much mpg did you drop?
 
Not yet, I haven't had to time to look about.
I was thinking though that maybe the mpg calculation is off, as the wheel sizes between the 16" and 17" alloys are probably slightly different.
Anybody know how to work it out?
