Re: In Defense of Turbinas

Pat,

Turbinas are those wheels, looking like a turbine made by Campagnolo et al,
that Alfa Romeo mounted on Spiders and GTVs from 1974. They are very light
wheels and some like them a lot while others can't wait to replace them.

Copenhagen
74 Spider shod with Cromodora Daytonas and 2 sets of Turbinas in storage
83 GTV6
02 Alfa 156 (soon I hope)
