Alfa Romeo Forum - View Single Post - Gta Brake Upgrade Scenario(confiscation!!?)

I kept my skinny wheel when the upgrade was done on my first GTA. (I wouldn't give it back to the dealer !) The dealers are supposed to send back the wheels as 330mm disc cars should only ever have the pump and gunk setup.

The reason for this is that Alfa are worried, someone with 330mm discs - fits the space saver to the front, and then drives off. As the wheel does not fit over the calliper - think as to what might happen. Alfa do not want to end up in court after someone has tried to drive a car with 330 disks - fitted with a space saver !

I'm sure the owners would never make such a mistake - but those not familiar with the car or lacking any form of common sense might !
