Since there are a few fairly common styles of aftermarket wheels people put on their 105's I thought it best to put it to the vote...
The 105 Alfas (and all period Italian cars, I guess) seem to be "wheel sensitive" to my eyes. The Campagnolo GTA style wheels seem to fit the car best, closely followed by Minilite designs and then the Cromodora "star" mags.

However. In period, Campagnolo actually had a fairly large range of Alfa wheels and, honestly, just about all of 'em looked very appropriate on the cars. I have, for instance, a set of Campy "star" mags which suit the 105 design so well that I'm going to use them on my car.

Somewhere in this pile of debis that passes for a study, I have an original Campy wheel catalogue listing all the the various Alfa specific fitments, including wheel offsets. When I find it, I'll scan it and put it on the forum.

Nice car, btw.
