WTB - 156 Sports Edition 17 inch Wheel.

[John Hanslow]

I  urgently need a 17 inch sports wheel as  I discovered a slow leak in the tyre and it turned out to be a cracked rim.  I did not want a set of 4 though. This is the wheel previously on thread here .  Refer picture on the link.

They are the 15 spoke 17 inch wheels pictured as Alfa Wheel 2 and 3.

They were sold on the 2001 and 2002 156 Sports Edition model and an option on others at the time.
Do you or does anyone (hopefully locally) have one for sale ?

JOHNG has previously posted some 156 rims for sale, these may be full sets but probably worth sending him a PM to see if he can help.

Good luck

Hi John

On ebay at the moment, I think these are the wheels you are after, though 4.

I have a new set but in white, so you will not want them.

Hi John,

I had a cracked rim before as well which was causing slow air leak,
but got it fixed at "Wheel solution" at Richmond.
It cost me $150, but now its all good and no more air leak.
(they do grantee that there is no leak)

The guy in the workshop has also mentioned that they fix a lot of Alfa rims that are sent to them from Lance Dixon,
So might be worth trying to fix it and see how it goes.

Cheers!

Interesting option, I suppose it depends on the extent of the crack and damage - as I would never have considered that option.

Will give them a call.

Thanks.
