Due to recent budget cuts and the rising cost of electricity, gas, and oil, we have decided to turn off the light at the end of the tunnel. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Are those Team Dynamics? I had them on my Opel Speedster (Lotus Elise derivative). Really good wheels. Maybe not the best "classic" wheels, but solid and reasonably light.

Anyone know where I can find these? I bought a bunch of Fiat parts from a guy and these came with it. I sold the car a few years ago but now just bought a 1975 and might want to upgrade. They were 16" and fit nice

These may be the wheels that would look good on my 72.
Do you know the manufacturor?
Rotas look nice on these cars also, but would like to consider some different options.
Thanks

I like superlights. They look "period correct" for the car.

I, too, prefer the look of "period correct" wheels. Here is a pic of my `77 with 14 inch Panasports.

And as an aside, if you (like me) view your Spider as a long-term item ('til death do us part') money spent on quality wheels with timeless styling is well spent. I've had these Panies on for twenty years now. Thet still look fresh and new. More highly styled ones perhaps would not and less well constructed ones may not have lasted. (Panasports are favored by rally drivers because of their durability).

Daniel's wheels look like derivatives of the Spider Volumex' split-rim Speedlines (or maybe Lancia was first with this design?)

When I bought my '78 124 new, it came with upgraded mags. I no longer have them, but as I recall they had a name like "Red Line Racing". They had about 20 thin spokes which were machined smooth on the outside edges but the remainder was all rough grey magnesium.
Do these sound familiar to anyone? I'd really like to find a set for my full resto, but I'm not even sure I have the name correct.
TIA!

YIKES! That really jumped out at me, it's my car! :o
I think those are the same ones, though there appear to be more spokes than I remember. Thanks!
