lOOKS LIKE PRICES HAVE GONE UP
Dayton -- Okay. Good work. I suspect the dealer would "eat" the shipping. Nevertheless, it's already about $2750.00, so the prices have gone up a lot in a year. If made to specifications they ought to fit perfectly. One would think tire size would have to be at least 16" and dare not be too large in profile to stay within the fenders and not drag on the steering parts. 205/55R16 would seem the right size. They are NOT cheap. If Dayton I'd want the two ear knockoffs WITHOUT logo and try to put Alfa badges on the outside.
But I personally would prefer using the "universal" front hub of British Wheel which has the splines on it instead of on "spiders" bolted onto the drum which must fit outside of the standard hub and then need wider wheel centers go around them. Using the adaptor of Dayton might seem to make the center of the wire wheel look unnaturally large. British Wheel "universal" front hub could be fitted with the right bearings to allow use on two liter or 2600 stub axle and still leave a way to fit drum or brake disk and look more authentic because the center of the wheel would not be so huge. Knockoffs on those hubs might not be so wide acress as to remind one of dinner plates. Someone check that out.
But let us look first at photos when they come from Costa Mesa, because my friend now tells me he used Dayton instead of British Wheel. His looked great from what I recall.
