What kind of wheels are these?

I bought these on ebay recently and was wondering what they are worth and what they are made of. These are brand new.

Those are Turbinas. They were used on Spiders, GTVs, and Alfettas of the 70s. This set appears to be the Alfetta wheels. They had a unique 4 x 98 lug pattern.....so they only fit the Alfetta. Spiders and GTVs have 4 x 108 pattern. Manufactured Campagnolo in a magnesium/aluminum alloy. Weighs maybe a very light 12-13lbs each. What they are worth....no idea on a new Alfetta set. The Turbinas for the Spiders seem to be relatively easy to come by maybe paying around $50 per wheel. These wheels would go for more if you got them in front of someone restoring an Alfetta.

Best Regards,

Those wheels will also fit some Fiats with the 4x98 bolt pattern. John gave a nice summary of the wheels. Al Cosentino of FAZA in Thousand Oaks California still sells those wheels brand new. I had a brand new set just like that that I recently sold to a friend restoring an Alfetta sedan, who abandoned the restoration and sold it to someone else. I wonder if those are the same set...

The stamp down to the right on the 1st picture says that it was manufactured on July 1975.
