Did you get those when you got the car new?

They do look good, and your 159 is the same colour as mine.

I've found these for a reasonable price but I'm not sure how they would look on my car - Smaller brakes, no red calipers, slightly higher than a TI etc.

Here are TI wheels on a Turismo (non lowered car) dont look to bad, but lowered does make them fit in the arch better.
Alfa Romeo : Alfa Romeo 159 1.9 JTD Multijet, Alfa Red,

Thanks Brioss, that looks pretty good.

i think that 159 with the Ti wheels looks sweet! id go for them out of all ive seen

No, they only came out last year, I think. I had the 17" multispokes before.

How do you like the colour? I picked it from the brochure, and I'm the only one out of my whole family who likes it. Hubby says it's too 'brown'. Not that it is, of course, but now even my son calls it 'Mummy's brown car' .

I think I would have to try pretty hard to call it brown!

Thanks to everyone for their feedback, I'm picking up my new TI wheels tomorrow.

I'll post some before and afters...

Multispokes. Or for ease of cleaning, the 19" TI rims.

I got the ti wheels (duh!) while they look great are a pain to clean, horse shoe look easier. Wheels on the old 156 were a dream to clean

The wheels are a shade under £700 and the tyres are £750 fitted.

Unfortunately ES Jones can't do it all for £1,100 anymore (or whatever it was you got them for).

It's all relative mate, apparently the 18" horse shoes are a bit of a mare to clean. Should be easier than my 18 Multispokes though.

A good solution for multispoke cleaning is the really big brush head that some places sell to wash your car with (a brush for your paint??? honestly, but hey are good for wheels). That and some good alloy cleaner - Turtle Wax nano is excellent.

I don't know how much they were, as they were my birthday present

Is that sad, asking for and getting alloy wheels for your birthday?

Looks like the " Crashwong teledials" are in vogue Dpat!

Got my new TI wheels yesterday...
