decided the 3 Rh's and one steel wheel look was getting a little old....

so i splashed out (student loan day on monday) on some new wheels for BravoBucket

Alfa 145 Cloverleaf Teledials ... first thing im gonna do once ive picked em up, is swap the balloon tyres, for my slightly less balloon tyres on the RH's



now... the question is... do i leave them silver.. or do i refurb the centres in gloss black and leave the outside/lip silver? or maybe even get the lip/outside polished

i might photoshop cos i been up all night and im still not sleepy

Go for the black mate, would look different!

What pcd do Alfa wheels have then? I want some unusual looking rims for my Bravo so I might just look through the Alfa catalogue at the options for wheels then go and try and find em on the cheap!

Post some photochops when you get em done, would be interested to see.

Lee

they are usually 5x100 but the odd alfa, like the 145 have 4x98. im not sure on the ET so i dunno if im gonna need spacers or anything

Nice... but remove that Alfa Romeo's logo from them, because it make them ugly...
Simple black mate is what you search, and make pics to show us what happens next...

Did you try them on the car? And how looks with them... :devil:

photoshop time me thinks!!!!!!!111onetwo!11

im playing with photoshop as we speak!

photoshops arent a good foresight though so they might not look good in a picture, but look great on the actual car!

im gonna pick them up sometime next week

really bad chops... but i aint been to bed yet so i cant focus or keep my hand steady LOL

wheels i have on now


just silver


black with a silver lip

can't say I'm mad about those wheels, especially on a Fiat! Distortionrockets, an old member, put them on his Brava

you just made me want them more!

gonna do the black and silver thing, dont think my car suits all silver wheels for some reason

yeah they look too plain for the car in just silver, but i dunno about black either... hmmm...

lime green ftw

im not an idiot...

the last 2 sets of wheels have been black with silver lips... i think thats the only style that suits her tbh!

What do you normaly do with the front number plate kay, looks good without. I was going to say something sensible but now all i can think about is polishing off lips.

She want to buy it cause her coat is the same colour

How about painting them all black and rub back through the paint to the silver around the five circles? Would be different!

number plate is held on the grille with a floating plate... its a stainless plate which the numberplate is velcroed onto, and there are two clips kinda that shape [ with a nut welded to the flat edge... a bolt goes through the plate and srews into the holding clip thing after you've slotted through the grill, and you rotate them and they kinda hook behind the grill, you tighten a bolt and ta daaaaa, they stay!

ok... it kinda... you put a clamping thing side ways through the grille, and then turn it so theres two like hooks on the ends of the flat bits...

its kinda hard to explain you'd have to see it to know what i mean, but its a very good idea and very well

hold on... lemme get paint out



not very good but you get the idea what the bracket looks like.. and that is behind the metal plate that the no. plate sticks to..

if you still dont understand ill take pics for you LOL

you can see where the number plate sits in this picture

Cheers kay that was very detailed

Ive been thinking about putting something under my bonnet almost like a door chain. So if it pops it wont go far, using rope and a carabineer.

I think shiny black silver but which bits :chin:




Or hood pins like classic american cars. Where the rubber stops in the slam pannel are would be the perfect place to put them on.
