15x7 steelies

These steel wheels are on a spider currently listed on ebay. The seller told me they were custom widened, with a 14" Alfa wheel center welded to a 15" rim, keeping the offset correct. I think they look great on this body.

One question I have for anyone here is what wheel is this? It has no hubcap rim or retainer bumps.

I'd consider doing this on a 15" 105 wheel, with original hub caps. Maybe 15x5.5" or 6" wide. Keep my original 15" skinnies for dress up. The place in Renton WA doesn't do steel wheels anymore, so I will try Stockton in CA next.

Thanks -

This looks like an early Giulia Sedan 4.5x15 wheel for drum braked cars that has been widened. They had riveted on clips for hubcaps. The centre cap in the picture is from a late 14" steel wheel.

Think I've got the same on mine.
Opinion I've read was that the original 14" were too thin for the power.
I love mine.
That ammount of black on the road sticks real good and the extra width
looks just right under the guards.
