Cromodora Daytona Question

[Dale]

The picture below shows a closeup of a Cromodora Daytona wheel with center cap. These were on my '73 2000 GTV. My question concerns the center cap. The center emblem is raised relief (3-D image). Was this original for the Cromodoras? Is this emblem/center cap aftermarket? Are they for sale somewhere? I'd like to get a set. Any leads appreciated.

Those Cromodoras are not OEM on Alfas. They are aftermarket. (Campagnolo Turbinas were OEM on the earlier '70s models and Cromodora Turbinas were OEM on later '70s models.) Alfa introduced the Campagnolo Daytonas as OEM in '82, but the Cromodora Daytonas were always aftermarket. That said, these aftermarket wheels are typically fitted with Alfa center caps. You shoud check the usual suppliers, i.e. IAP, Centerline, Vicks, etc.

Best regards,

Joe,

Thanks for that informative reply. I suspected as much but wasn't sure. This '73 GTV was my first Alfa and I sure miss it. It handled and ran so well. I sold it when I was retiring from the Navy and my next career wasn't in the bag. Oh well!

Hi Dale,

You might want to try Frank Hanel: http://www.ar-hanel.de/ for the emblems.
The sell reproductions of the Cromodora Daytona wheel with a litte FH logo on the inside.
