Common Alfa Romeo Wheel Weights

[Alleggerita]

A few more wheel weights - most numbers from homologation documents.

Why not adding some pictures of the different wheeltypes? Will make this thread even better.

Alfa Romeo 1300 GT junior 1966, stock 15 x 4,5 with 155 Firestone F560: 15,2 kg (wheel, tube, tyre, weights and valve). And yes, I know the Opel type flasher is not original...

Jason, on the wheels table I would either add a manufacturer, or change "Brand" to manufacturer. To resolve Joe Cab's concern (partially) one needs to separate an "OM" from "replica manufacturer". The following wheel is the example:
Cromodora CD-35 Replica 14x6 4x108 23 16 lb. Style C from IAP catalog

It is not a Cromodora Brand or manufacturer. Also, may suppliers may carry this repro/replica wheel so a supplier designation may not help. For accuracy.

Thanks for considering this. Nice work! Bruce

Asked for comments on Giulia / Giulietta wheels, 4.5 x15, Borrani and Fergat, I was TOLD the Borrani's were the wheel to race with as they were lighter than Fergat's. I do not know if this is true, however, racing in the late 60's with my Giulia spider, I had a collection (still do) of Borrani's. Found I could sometimes bend one in front, at the spyder with the right combination of tire and track surface. Not the rears. My car had, first disc front brakes, and later 2 shoe drums. Could not bend them all, only some, even on the same day & track. Later I found others were breaking, or cracking Fergat's at the spider, and sometimes at the lug holes. Perhaps the Borrani's were not lighter , only more bendable! I guess this is a good thing. Better a front end shake, than a front wheel leaving the car, and you in never-never-land! Later we were allowed to widen our steel wheels, and most widened Borrani's again. I went to Minilites when rules allowed.
The stock Alfa 4.5 x 15 Borrani weighs 17 lbs. I just weighed one from my collection. Hope this helps. Gordon Raymond

Weighed a stock steel '69 Alfa 5.5x14 steel wheel without weights or stem. Same as S3 listed at 16#. It's interesting that there is no weight advantage with most of the wheels listed. Only some of the very early mag allow wheels come in at 11-12#. That makes it pure aesthetics and not function.

[Gordon Raymond]

Plus possible width advantage, depending on fit.

just wondering...anyone got the weights of the "wine glass" style milano wheels by chance?

[Tifosi]

Another one for the pile:

WIA PERFORMANCE 14x6 JJ 21mm offset 15.5lbs

Bump to make note that the 1st post in the thread is all balled up and informationally useless now for some reason. (or at least it is when I view it here)

[davbert]

another update

I couldnt find a more accurate scale but for what its worth here's a ball park weight of the autodelta GR4 10x15 rally wheels @ around 13lbs


I've been looking for awhile without any luck. anyone have a set of alfa 105's 14x7 melbers, mille miglias or tecnomagesio's to sell me?


hope to see a few of you tomorrow at the coronado vintage race

cheers

Well, that stinks. It took me quite a while to figure out how to create that chart. Not sure what happened there - maybe Simon updated some code on the BB side... I'll mess around and see if I can't fix it in the original post.

Jason,

It might be easier on you if you made this table in Excel and attached it to your message. You could name the document using the latest revision date.

Thanks for your efforts! This information is useful and interesting!
