147 GTA with Anthracite Teledials & 330mm brakes

as in the brake upgrade thread, I had my new 330mm upgrade this weekend. While doing this, I had the 2 wishbones replaced and a new set of anthracite teledials fitted to allow for the bigger brakes.

I had the optional multi-spokes before (now for sale)

I also changed the GY F1's to Michelin Pilot Sports to give them a try....

went for anthracite as a little different, not sure if they look a little too racy and agressive now??? The multi-spokes looked quite subtle and classy I thought.

Maybe anthracite more suited for a red car I'm not sure...but anyway I have attached some photos

If you really don't like the teledials, my 156 GTA has the larger multispokes which fit over the 330mm brakes.
I'd be quite willing to swap, because I think your wheels look fantastic!

Re: 147 GTA with Anthracite Teledials & 330mm brakes

No I know. It wasn't a serious offer really, but to be honest, if you actually do decide that you'd prefer multi-spokes, it's certainly something I'd consider.
As you suggest, I think I'd certainly have to pay some money too. My alloys are not brand new like yours (although they are in generally good nick) and whiole two tyres are brand new Vredesteins, the others are half worn Pirelli P-Zero Rossos.

Anyway, as I say, I'm not going to push for this, I think you'll quickly grow to love those alloys yourself. But if you do decide you'd prefer to have multispokes, drop me a PM or something, and we'll see if we can work something out.

yeah no worries mate. Don't get me wrong I really like them, probably just a bit new looking and very bling! With the multi-spokes you hardly see any of the discs or calipers thats all

however, I can source some more sets of the teledials in anthracite if anyone is interested. They are much cheaper than Alfa dealer price. They would come without tyres obviously, but include centre caps. They are genuine brand new alfa romeo teledial wheels not some cheap copies lurking around on the internet!

Now that's the only set of wheels I'd even consider putting on the Cup anybody in the know will tell you that's the biggest complement I could pay you

Very Nice

Your wheels are 18" as well, off a GT?

I will post up a pic of the original GTA 17" multi-spokes
