It's possible to adapt the car to use alloy wheels, but the job is a bit
more involved.  The front is easy: just replace the brake rotors with
rotors from a 2 liter 105, 1972 or later.  The 2 liter rotors are the same,
except that the studs are longer and all of them have right-hand threads.  

The rear is different, because on that end the wheel studs are in the axle,
not the rotor.  You have to pull both axle shafts, press out the old studs,
and press in new studs, again from a 2 liter 105.  

Note that these changes not only give longer studs, but eliminate the left
hand threads on the left side of the car.
