Wheels
Ok the more i look the more i confuse myself!
I am after a new set of wheels for the 75 once the work is all completed but im going round in circles here, the sort of wheel im after is a 15/16" split rim design with at least a 1" dish to it but preferably more....ive not seen any 75's with them so dont know how it will look but i got my fingers crossed....however people ive spoke to have confused me about offset, pcd spiggot size etc, i know what they all are but as im after a dish to the wheel im assuming the offset will have to be different? if so which way?
Any help will be apreciated or if you know somewhere which sells the sort of wheel im after that would be a bonus

Dam they do look good! What size were they? Think id have to get them sprayed a bit lighter though but other than that there just the sort of thing i was after! Guess you dont have a pic of them fitted?

Just checked the price.....looks to be about £298 per wheel plus vat for that wheel above in a 16" x 7" assuming the 75 takes a 7" wheel, anyone know?

I've got 7s on mine but 15inch revolutions. On alfahaholics track/fast road suspension
so providing you adjust profile of tyre to dia don't see a problem
if you fancy revolutions I have a refurbed set of originals I might be tempted to sell. Cost £95 a wheel to refurb - like new (well better in fact)

there is also the problem of clearing the front brake caliper, my 17in OZs, despite being made for Alfa, (although probably FWD cars) catch on the caliper, needed a 5mm spacer to clear it.
