Alfetta wheels on a Sprint

Sprint now has it's own set of simmons

They make the Sprint look very tough. Well done, they fit perfect.

The sprint is off for rego in the new year and will hopefully be on historic plates.
Hope to get it up to Auto Italia this year.

Bah... I want my Sprint back. Bloody hell driving Alfas is a lifetime problem !!

My son is getting close to licence age and I think he has the same problem as us. Loves Alfa's already.
What one should I let him drive?

Quotelast Alfa Romeo to have steel wheels was 28 years ago

The base model 156 also had steel wheels. Teenager round the corner from me still has them on his car (not a bad 1st car, though has reversed it into a pole and left a massive ding in the boot!).

Booked in for Blue Slip on Monday!

The Sprint got its blue slip yesterday.
Just waiting for the paperwork to come from the club and it will be on Historic rego.
Looking forward to getting it up to Auto Italia in April.
And there is a race day at Wakefield on the 31st Jan, may drive up and have a look.

Plates are on

Have been using the sprint every now and then and love it.
One thing I have noticed is that the torque steer is much more noticeable with the deeper dish wheels, when I put the standard wheels back on it is nowhere near as noticeable.

Would it help if I gave it a bit more toe-in with the simmons on?

Its such a fun car to drive and I really like it with the simmons and would like to tame the torque steer a bit.

Can I ask what is the offset on the Simmons and the wheel tyre sizes.

Fetta GTV · June 11, 2016, 06:31:41 PM

Simmons are 15x7 I will check the offset, can't remember.
Tyres are 195/50/15

amichie · June 12, 2016, 06:29:05 AM

That would be great.

I am thinking of going 15x6 or 14x6 Superlites and I think the max offset I can get is +26. But I'm not going to do it if it's just going to create Torque Steer.
