My car has its original wheel rims in steel. They are 14" with currently 195's. I am keen to go back to a narrower tyre and if possible keep these rims. The edges of three of them have been scuffed and a few small indentations after 52 years. I have local place that can refurbish them with sandblasting and fix up the edges with some heat and metal work. However, it seems that Alfa rims are un-numbered or stamped as original and I do wonder about the value of doing this.

Are new steel rims still available? Most of the new rims seem to be alloy (probably a good thing) and most are in 15"

Thank you. I went for a Yokohama BluEarth on this occasion. Highly recommended by my Alfa mechanic friend and rally driver. He loves them and they are right rolling size for the speedo calibration. 185's - down from 195. Feels much better and quiet and great in the wet reportedly. I would have liked the Veredstein (below) 165 again (have them on my 356), but next time, at double the price. Hard to get the right aspect ratio as well.
