18'' multi spoke wheels

Does anyone know how much a set of the 18'' gta wheels would be? I'm thinking of changing the 17's for 18's. If anyone would like a swop plus cach just let me know.
cheers

Re: 18'' multi spoke wheels

What 17"s are they? Teledials or Multispokes?

Can I have first refusal on them?

Re: 18'' multi spoke wheels

They're quite hard to get hold of, and go for a tidy sum when they appear.

But they're baisically the Toora wheel, which you can buy from most places:

Do a search on Google for Toora.

i called mangoletsi for them last week, IIRC they quoted me around 250 each for the alloys minus a 10% discount think they came out about 920 for the alloys. im tempted, waiting till the spring now tho.

they are the 18's found on the later 147 gta's and the gt.

hope this helps

Re: 18'' multi spoke wheels

If I could work out (and spend time to - do this) I'd post pics of mine with the 18" spoke wheels..

Yes they are very similar to the Toora wheel, but not the same....

You might be able to put a call into Auto Lusso - speak to Ned, he might be a good source of supply, as he was able to provide me with a spare pair....

Note - The 18" wheel does look great, I do love the teledial as well - but you have to be a saint not to kerb the 18's

Yeah I agree....they are very similar, its the way the spokes meet in the middle that are different, but makes all the difference...both wheels are made by Toora, but, in my opinion, the OE Alfa 18" multispoke is much nicer looking...its more fierce. There is also another wheel by Toora which is very similar, its one of their mono bolt wheels....the ones which Peter K has on his GTA...another nice looking wheel....

As has already been said, they are rare wheels, and when they come up for sale, go for good money....

Re: 18'' multi spoke wheels

I am not sure the Toora wheel is 100% identical to the Alfa one is it?

Attached is pic of the 18" on my GT.

You are right on the kerb issue, if you get close you do one, I have not done a kurb but did scrape one in a car park, they had a stupid island for the barrier that went on really far on a tight turn with no indication on the end of the island it was still there - GT visibility made it invisible. Crunch. I said something rude.

List is £250 I think the alloy, I managed to get a spare cheaper but it was a fluke...

Re: 18'' multi spoke wheels

about £400...

for £1500 you might as well import a set of billet 18" teledials from japan.. at least then youd have unique AND tasty wheels...
much nicer as they arent on everyother old mans diesel GT like the 18" GTA wheels.....
