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.

Plus possible width advantage, depending on fit.
