Justin,

You know how much I dislike the Japanese Weirdo tuning, but I must say, I am extremely impressed with this 147 owner's choice of rims: :D eek!





If I ever consider changing rims, these will be it...Guaranteed! :D

It’s like Autodelta kit, it’s OK, or in your opinion isn’t OK?

On this black car those air intakes look fantastic, very subtle. Wheels, yes Ferarri wheels, not sure if I like the way he's painted the rear lights. A little abrupt but the wheels are super sexy for sure. I'm still hunting the perfect wheels down. I have decided only one thing, and that is to stay with 17's rather than move up to 18's.

Yeah, does somebody have an idea of just how much those wheels should cost?

In a moment of pure maddness, I thought I should call the local Ferrari dealer to ask that exact question as I was stupidly thinking of buying a set for my car!!!

I can tell you all that a Ferrari F360 Modena Rim can be yours for a mere sum of A$2150/US$1175/UK£754 per rim eek!

Add a set of Pirreli P-Zero Rosso on each rim (what else would you fit on a Ferrari? :D ) and the total cost of the rims&tyres fitted to your Alfa is A$12600/US$6888/UK£4421

Just a suggestion to you Justin....Stick with the Supersports! :)

By the way, ask me anytime when you want to know the costs and the other information of Japanese products. Maybe as you know, we have many of alfista here in Japan. We still can buy even new car of SZ (7mio.yen)

and does any one realise that the alfa grill is different than the normal one? it looks "inflated"?? even on the autodelta site thats what i thought but i still wasnt sure..

I wonder if all fours are front wheels? I mean, the rear ones are wider on the Modena.

It IS the Autodelta Kit, and ofcourse it looks better in black!!! :)

The 147 looks awesome in black, black tends to hide all the "plastic" bits on the car. ie: Bumper bars, side mirror arms, antenna, licence plate holders, all this plastic non painted stuff hides into the black paint. Just my opinion ofcourse! Who in Australia wants to buy my supersports wheels cheap?!

I am interested in a set of 16" Alloys for track days, so if any 147 owners in Australia (with 16" alloys) are considering upgrading to Justin Fox's 17" Supersports, I will be happy to take the 16" alloys off your hands for a reasonable price.

Justin, if you have no takers for your 17" alloys I may be interseted in getting them instead.
