Title: Delta wheels Post by: spud on May 23, 2014, 12:26:32 PM Hi all,
My Y10 GTie was fitted with 14" Delta HF alloys when I bought it. They looked fantastic. But, for me (being old :D) the ride was too harsh. The car has lowered suspension and this, coupled with the Delta alloys, did make the car look very cool... I just found myself wishing the car was softer. So I fitted the original 13" Y10 GTie alloys and the ride improved. But I miss the way the wider Delta rims filled the arches. My question is- did the Delta ever come with 13" alloys? The 14" wheels are a perfect fit, requiring no spacers and the tyres (185/50/14 Yokohama) don't foul the arches. They really are mm perfect. The 14" wheels are 5.5" wide with a 45mm offset. If the Delta ever had 13" alloys they might be the same offset and thus fit perfect with a 185/60/13 tyre. A long shot I know but... anyone know? Failing that, any suggestions for retro 13" alloys with a 45mm offset and a Fiat/Lancia bolt and centrebore fitting? Andrew.

It's stamped on the rim ET42.5 Title: Re: Delta wheels Post by: spud on May 23, 2014, 06:16:00 PM Aye, they'd do. Quite smart. Shame there's only two. Probably very rare now too. I'll see if I can find any others anywhere.
Thanks for the link! Andrew. |
