Styling Decisions on Wheels

[domtheboyo]

Hi fellow Tipo owners. This is my pride and joy, totally standard 1.4 S in poverty spec white.
I quite fancy getting some nice alloys but not sure if it will ruin its purity and cannot decide what ones!
It's currently completely original, down to cassette player and original wheel trims.
I'm in two minds.
What do you think?

I'm for purity, but sometimes we fancy a change. I don't think 'spoke' type alloys suit the car, the most appropriate imho were those fitted to the Tofas (turkish) Tipos, which are a solid, clean design.

Thank you for sharing the picture of your Tipo, it looks nice. I like the standard trim but maybe you could find some Abarth rims?

Hi, your standard trims are the nice design, I had very similar 14" ones on my Mk2 Tipo.

The best options IMO are either the 13" 4-spoke Cinquecento Sport alloys, or the basically identical 14" ones from the Tipo / Tempra. They really suit the cars and would be a very subtle enhancement.

Tyre choice 175/65 x 13 or 185/60 x 14.
