Styling Desperatly need Fiat Alloys! Plz help!

[Stemondo]

I have been looking everywere for a while now for the 17" 5 spoke abarth wheels. The ones that arn't in the brio catalogue. I have looked on ebay and they seem to be as rare as rocking horse sh*t, and rang fiat and they said you have to buy them seperatly which would make them expensive, so if fiats normal prices are expensive then god knows what fiats expensive prices are like!

The guy said he'd ring me back with a price but he aint so he must be to embarrased at the price and didn't want to ring me.

Anyone know or got any for sale?

 

[Bob in disguise]

i believe someone was selling a set of these a while back. Maybe its worth looking through the old threads and then contacting who ever it was to see if he still has them?

 

[Stemondo]

Just had a look and only found a couple of sets that have been sold.

 

[Stemondo]

Also I know its off the topic but how do I put pictures in my sig?

Thanks

If you really want a set of those particular alloys, then www.performancealloys.com do a replica set and they will be a perfect match, for £99 each wheel..

I know a chap who is selling 2 fiat ones for really cheap, would they be an exact match for 2 of this site as in colour and style. Also can you buy the fiat center caps, if so how much?

Thanks

If they are both the silver finish then i don't see why not, your best bet is to phone them up as they are a very approachable company and will advise you. Even if there was a slight difference you could put one pair on each side so you will never see them at the same time.
I think they may do the centre caps too, but if they don't then Fiat would get them... Just tell them you had the caps stolen and you want them on so you can advertise Fiat, lol... they may get em in for free if not, then surely they would be pretty cheap to buy ?

The centre caps quite often come up for sale on Ebay too

You are joking the centre caps will set you back about £30 each!. Stemondo I'm in the same predicament at the moment. I work in the motor trade & a couple of months ago I rang the fiat dealer who supplies us & he said even with trade discount a set of the 17" 5 spokes in shadow chrome were going to be over £890 or £223 each inc VAT. I have since had a word with the Alfa/Fiat specialist who we do a lot of work for & he came back to me with a price of £117 each if you like I could have a word with him on your behalf although I'm not sure I'll be able to get them that cheap for you but PM me if interested.

OMG Thats disgusting mate..

Well Stemondo, if you order some wheels from that link i gave you, they will provide centre caps, but they just wont have Fiat written on them, they will have PA racing instead, and you could ask for a couple of spare ones and they wont charge a penny..

I take it that price (£117) does not include the tyres?

How many colours do these alloys come in, what do the replicas come in?

Cheers for the help.

 

[Koa]

the replicas are silver as in the pictures on that site.

you can get the originals in shadow chrome or silver.

 

[Stemondo]

Which would look best on a crystal green stilo?

Also what colour would suit the calipers?

 

[Koa]

Silver for the wheels & Silver or Gold for the calipers IMO.. Shadow chrome looks best on the non metalics like Morano blue, Red, and Yellow Stilo's.

The price is for the wheels only & personally I think the shadow chrome look much better than ordinary boring silver on any car colour.

 

[Bo~Select@]

Oi .. that looks like my wheel arch

 

[Stemondo]

I did try to take one of yours but it was 2 small so I took it of I think Pauls abarth.

You wanna sell yours?

 

[Bo~Select@]

You wanna sell yours?

No ... I like them too

I just came across it by chance when i was looking for my wheels, if you put in your car make and model it gives a list of all wheels that will fit. I just remembered seeing them ones there, and thinking if i was gonna replace my wheels when i trade mine in I could get those.
