Re: Alloy Wheel Options - What Fits Series 1 ?

Both are very classy but are there other options to consider. I recently saw an Italian 166 Series 1 that had 17" GTA wheels normally fitted to the 147 and 156 GTA's.

What are the critical numbers to ensure correct fittment. Presuming the offset is correct will these GTA wheels fit straight on.
The 166 has 5x108, the GTA is 5x98(?). But I guess there are spacers with both bolt patterns since I've also seen them with these rims. But I have to say, they don't look good in the 166!

For me there is only one set of rims...
(thanks for an opportunity to show off my wheels.. )
