What do 164 wheels look like on a milano?
so i see that milanos & 164's have the same bolt pattern & offset (i think) but i've never seen a milano with the stock 164 wheels on it. do they fit? does anyone have any pics? just curious as i saw a 164 at the pick a part and wondering what the 15" oem wheels would look like on my milano.
it seems like an easy upgrade to 15" wheels if everything fits ok. i guess they're not very wide (6 or 6.5") but it's surely better than the 14's on most milanos.
love to see some pics

Do a search, there are pictures posted from a while back.
They will fit, but a very small amount of the center bore needs to be ground out with a dremel. Why Alfa decided to change the bore by such a small amount? Who knows.

I think you could put 10mm spacers on and than you don't need to open the bore up. The difference is 58.6 for milano vs. 58.1 for 164.

ok, thanks for that info.
eh, 0.5mm? just bolt the f**kers on and, voila, built in spacer!
actually, who has cheap spacers for milanos? seems like a good mod for any milano as the wheels could stand to be moved out a bit.

It's interesting to point out that Milano and 75 bores are the same. My car is an euro-spec '87 Quadrifoglio and by chance I've got the standard "14 wheels as well as a Verde's set in ''15 and both are a perfect fit. I've been considering 164 V6 Turbo Wheels, and it's worth knowing that they're slightly different.

The wheel will never sit flush against the hub face, hence will always be cockeyed to the hub.
Go ahead, a little wobble never hurt anyone

But basically any wheel from a new FWD Alfa (164>) centrebore is slightly smaller. It's not that difficult to machine them out, but it's a pain.

I had 164L wheels on my Verde and now I have 164LS. They look great. It is easy to open up the hub a bit with a Dremel. I think that I had spacers on the front 164L wheels to avoid interference with the calipers. I used the ones from the 164 rear wheels.

The second picture is a current picture. Both the '88 Verde and likely the '86 Quad next to it are for sale if anybody is interested (PM me)!
