Styling Barchetta 16" alloys

[TempraTDSX]

HI All,

Has anyone got pictures of the standard Fiat original 16inch alloys that were available? I don't want aftermarket ones, but am aware that some of them were 16inch.

Also is the ride a lot harsher, with the 16" wheels?

Any advise much appreciated.

I had no idea that the B was available with 16s ,not sure If I've ever seen

a car with those fitted in Wapper's links.

Seen plenty of 16s and 17s aftermarket wheels on cars though....:yum:

I wonder what could be the weight of those 16" "Sport" wheels. They sure look heavy.
The original 15" Naxos alloys I currently have, weigh in at 9.0kg/pcs. But some aftermarket BSA wheels I had before, were 7.7kg/pcs and believe me or not, I noticed the difference.

i believe you !
it's the same principal of the flywheel ligthing . reducing the weigth from rotating mass has a great influence in aceleration ...
strangely i have seen ligth alloy wheels weigh more than original iron wheels ! i believe it's just for good look ...
