If those are truly 4x130, then those are Porsche 914/VW wheels. They'd look fantastic on a 914.

Sorry to hear Geo.
No Alfa fitment.
If they came from Italy, most likely would have came from older Lancias, like the Flavia or Fulvia.
I believe they would also fit some older VW or Porsche models.

 

[bjwhite]

hah! Oh yeah how did I forget about the Fulvia and Flavia. I need to turn in my Lancia card now. hahaha. (I've had three Lancias)

 

[6alfas]

Lancias were 4x98 I believe.
Porsche 914's were 15"

I guess if you advertise them to the right crowd you might make some money.

Yes, but the "modern" Lancias like the 70's Zagato, Beta, Scorpion. Older Flavias and Fulvias were 4x130.

OMG the misplaced apostrophes! haha.

Huge seller misrepresentation on these wheels, 130mm centers are not even close to 108mm! Sorry you have to deal with this very expensive problem.

 

[GeoS Alfa]

Thanks everyone for your input. Looks like some older Lancias and early VW / 914 are the fit.

Yeah, when an ad is vague and says "round wheels for sale" I will ask for more details / pictures. I assumed that such detailed info in the original ad actually meant something.

I won't loose the house and the family won't go hungry. Just expensive tuition and more work for me.

Can’t they stop this guy from posting items for sale

 

[6alfas]

With the new classifieds format, a buyer can leave feedback for the seller. I don't think it's retroactive though.

I don't think the Moderators would want to involved. I guess?

The buyer hasn't said if he has contacted the seller to see what he has to say. Or am i missing something.

 

[GeoS Alfa]

We (seller / buyer) have communicated via PM / conversations after the wheels arrived.

Bottom line (after telling the seller that the wheels are 4x130 14x6 with ET10 and will not fit a GTV as stated):

• no explanation for the difference in description in ad vs item
• I am being told that Mebler wheels need adapters to fit on a GTV (The offset of the wheels is 10, an adapter would push them to 0 or negative?)
• if I choose not to use adapters then it is up to me to sell the wheels
• return / refund not accepted

I don't want to make a soap opera out of this. It is always caveat emptor. Although in this case it is simply not the item advertised. I understand mistakes can be made. Mistakes can be corrected though.

I think people here on this BB can confirm that Melber made wheels for the 105 Alfa bolt pattern of 108 mm and that the offset is also suitable for 105s. Sounds like the seller is trying to bluff his way out of a mistake or a fraud.
