Classic wheels
Discussion
I have seen some wheels I'd like for my Alfa but would need to let go of my old ones first. I will stick them on fleaBay but other than say they fit 105 series Alfas I don't know how I would tell what other cars they fit to try and help sell them and take them out of a narrow field. They're pretty rare/unusual but I'm confident they're not specific to Alfa's.
Obviously its a 4 stud pattern but which part would you measure so people know what else they could fit it to and what other pertinent info is required? Pics on my profile.
Mods this is a genuine request for info and not a pitch but I understand if you feel the need to remove.....just give me a few answers first

On a four stud wheel measure directly across to the stud diagonally opposite - centre to centre. Or if you like the inside of one to the outside of the other. Description would be 4 x 125 or similar. Once you have that measurement there are many sites on the net that list equivalents.

You might also be asked for the backspace, there are technical descriptions on the 'net but most people really want the distance from the hub facing from the rim.

Thanks, these aren't Momo Vegas but I'm not sure if thats what you meant, would love a set though.
First Bertie I went to see to buy 7 or 8 years ago had some Momo's on but when you turned the wheel they hit the arches at the front, reckon the dealer had just stuck them on with wrong size tyres to make the car look better but never taken it for a drive in them to check. It put enough doubt in my mind about him that I walked away from it.
I didn't think of trying to flog them on Alfa BB as I assumed it was mainly an American and European site so buyers wouldn't be interested in UK but will give it a try. Cheers
