New wheels for the 500? I think they look good if that is the case. Here is the pic. http://www.monstersandcritics.com/l....php/In_photos_Geneva_Motor_Show_Preparations

They look really tasty and I think you could probably get your hands through to clean the insides as well which is a bonus. They certainly would have been my first choice, better than my present 421s.Don't like.
I wonder if they are Wolfrace - or Team Dynamics. Either way, coming to a Halfords near you...:yuck:

Well they appear to have the Fiat centre cap. What's the problem are they not cute & retro?
Those wheels are the standard wheels you get on the 500 Abath (16 inchers).

Similar, but not the same - smoother shape between the spokes that on the Abarth.
The rear edge of the sideskirt is different too, as is the front splitter.
Unless it's a yellow Abarth? The front bumper doesn't appear large enough.

Are you sure? They look pretty similar to me.

The yellow 500 is a standard 500 with the sports body kit. It's just the wheels which I was on about saying they look like the 16 inchers which come standard on the Abarth.

The Abarth wheels have ridges behind the spokes, where as on the yellow 500 it appears smooth behind the spokes.
Liking these new wheels though, and nice to see a 500 that is kinda inbetween the sport and Abarth variants. A bit more attitude.

Anyway the 500C alloys are also look good
I wonder how much these will be from Fiat? I really want them on mine!
Speaking of alloys I would love to find a set of the 500C alloys. If they were bought seperately from the dealer they would be very expensive. I have the 15" multispoke ones but would love to change them to a pair of 16".
Any idea?

All the 500 alloys can be purchased as accessories, but they're very pricey. For the multispoke 16s you'd be looking at £530 + you'll need to pay out for tyres on top of that. Have a look under the 'Style' section here for all the current options http://www.fiat.co.uk/Showroom/#showroom/new_500/accessories

Better pictures here http://500blog.blogspot.com/2009_03_01_archive.html- and they are in fact quite different to the Abarth wheels, nice though.
So basically, just get a better set of aftermarket ones & tyres for less. That's what I'm going to do!
