Milano Wheels

[Marines <zzambri@domain.elided>]

Hi Phil,

    For 15" wheels I would recommend the Yokohama AVSi 205/50/15 at $77 a piece (tirerack). This IMHO is the best street tire for the money. I have used
205/55/15 BF Goodrich Comp T/A ZR before and they are quite comfortable. But they really suck on the track. Right now I have 205/50/16 Falken GR-Beta RS
Tune on my Milano Gold. It rubs a little (Verde skirts). But it clears the wheel well. Not as comfy but look great. It slides real nice but do not squeal
like those %&^$^$!!! BF Goodrichs.
    I would suggest the following wheels: Team Dynamics, Tecnomagnesio (6 spoke at discount tire) or the 156 wheels Alfa Bill is selling. You know my 16"
wheel + tire combo weighs the same as the Verde phone dial wheels with 195/55 tires.
    The Zender Milano wheels should be available in shops located a few thousand miles away from you ;-). When I was in Singapore I saw a set for a 145 (4
lug). they also have it for the 5 lug Alfas. Cost? about US$350 each. Ouch! A cheap substitute would be the 16" SPEEDLINE on the 164 Quadrifoglio/Q4. They
look like the OZ wheels but are actually 1 piece. Just like the ones on my 155 V6. our good 'ol Alfa Bill may be able to help you in getting those wheels..

Hope I helped.

p/s besides the new 156 3.0 QV, have you seen the photo of the 147? Apparently it is also in Autocar.
