Even used on the Abarth 500 Assetto Corse!Probably the most respected wheel manufacturer. Well used in F1, World rallying etc. Quality product, hardly a Halfords special. As you say for all you know.
You get what you pay for If I ever replace the wheels on my 500 it's be with OZ's or Speedline'sMust admit it sounds quite a lot of money too, considering i got x4 genuine Abarth wheels with tyres for £540 (- £300 for my old ones) so £240 as oppose to £250 each from a dealer
No, i just got a bargain! Noticed the Abarth wheels have "Germany" stamped on the back, intriguing...You get what you pay for If I ever replace the wheels on my 500 it's be with OZ's or Speedline's
Did I mention that IainG GPS will soon have some rims for sale? Dude, if you want to sell your rims post in the classified section and stop trying to advertise them in here......Well I like them, made my mind up for Mrs Gs 500, having seen these.
Going to put the Abarth 8 spoke 16s on it.
The 17s will be up for sale soon!!

Think these fit the 500 too, like em?

That is pretty interesting.
It means there made outwith the Panda/500/Ka factory and then imported in.
The Panda 100HP alloys are made in house in Poland.
Friday afternoon car? God only knows how many Friday afternoon cars Fiat have made in the pastI had a set of the Abarth wheels on my old GP that had all come off the same car, three were stamped made in France and one was stamped made in Poland!

Yeah paint quality on OEM rims is crap and there's usually only a dusting of lacquer. Damaged a rim on my car when I stacked them :bang:Yeah they were identical in finish and colour match apart from the markings on the back.
All very light on paint mind, was'nt overly impressed with the quality of them.
I have no idea what the significance of the "OZ" badge is, and i'm sure 99.9% of the rest of the population won't either. They might just as well be Halfords chav specials for all I know.
they look crap.
*Original review*
I'm tired mate, lately I've been finding the energy to resist replying to pointless trolling/people but not tonight
Not that i noticed, i'll flip one over in work today and inspect closerYeah I think the 500's wheels were made in Poland but I'll have to check again to make sure.
DraigFlag, do you still have the rims? Any other branding? Big companies like OZ and Speedline usually brand the wheels they provide for OEM's in some way though it may not be visible from the outside.
