Looks great Jamie. It reminds me of the sad loss three months ago of our black one due to a runaway Hyundai van. My son got a beautiful black 1999 GTV 3 litre V6 with the insurance proceeds and the seller traded the 75 wreck to use the engine and gearbox in his 1985 GTV6. I got two grand cash to spend on my 1988 Range Rover project, so it all worked out well. It was upsetting to lose a car we put so much work into though.

Really good, this is about my third or fourth set now. Can't fault them. Toyo R888s have more grip but they need loads of negative camber or they tear off the outer edge, these don't blow apart like that so 1 degree of negative does the trick.

Hi All

I have a set of 15 x 7 OZ Monza wheels and want to mount them on my Milano Verde. What size tire do you recommend

A- 205-55-R15

Or

B- 205-50-R15

Thank you
Pino

195 55 15 is the original size (at least on Euro cars) but 205 50 15 is similar.

205 55 15 is too big for a Milano


I have seen pictures of Milano with 225-55-15. The offset I have is the standard 30, and just want to buy the best size tire that would work with the car without touching.

Nice looking wheels Nizam. I sold the 75 in my avatar to a fellow Alfa club member last week. It was the first of my four 3 litre cars and the last to go. It was only going to sit around unused for more years and is better off in a new Alfisti home. I’ve loved my years with 75s, but we have our newer Alfas now. There are still six in my immediate family.
 
@oz3litre From your list of cars, you have me beat! Love your collection!
I need to amend the list now. My 92 year old dad’s 147 diesel is not on the list. The 75 is gone of course and the 159 Sportwagon is currently languishing at my Alfa mechanic’s yard with a blown engine, due to a turbo seal failure. When that happens on a diesel, the engine runs away out of control and suffers expensive damage. Hopefully a guy is buying it from me soon and replacing the engine. We bought the 159 ti 1750 TBI to replace it. That is a wonderful car to drive and is my wife’s daily driver.
 
My car just got new wheels and tires. The rims are Sport Edition P3 in anthracite and tires are Yokohama 205/45 R16. I'm running a 5mm spacer right now and still getting tire rub when it's hard over ?. I think they look good now and they'll look great when the car is re-painted dark red. ?
