The wheel bolt pattern is the same on all our Fiat Spiders. Have you got a pic of the wheel?

That's great, thanks. I do not have any pictures of the rims, but they are on the car that he is parting out. I am going to pay around $420 for the four rims I think that's ok.

Sounds kind of high to me??? I am selling an 81 this weekend that had 5 factory aluminum wheels that I would have sold for less than that. Maybe I'm not comparing apples to apples though.

I am paying about 45 per rim and the rest is shipping from Kansas, USA to Ontario, Canada.

That's a shame that shipping each wheel cost the same as the wheel itself. But, if the wheels are nice and it makes the car look better, it will be worth it. It would have been nice if you could have got some pictures though. That way, you could see what you were getting.

If they're nice Cromadoras or turbo wheels that price is very good. I won't even tell you how much I have in mine. :?

I wanted the Roosevelts so I could be like Alvon. Paid a premium price, but their exactly what I wanted. The wifey did not have a good imagination, and was sour when she first saw them. But changed her mind when they were cleaned , painted and on. My buddie did a "force-balance" on them, matching the tires to the rims. This brought the road force numbers low, and they are very round! What can I say, it was my birthday! :lol:

The turbo wheels are 14", not 13", so it would be them.

I saw these in CL and armed with the ebay information I would think you could talk them down and hopefully end up in the positive and with tires too. Though, it does seem like $450 is the going rate in some circles.
