Hi all,
My Y10 GTie was fitted with 14" Delta HF alloys when I bought it. They looked fantastic. But, for me (being old Cheesy) 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?

I think they are ET40 too

Edit  - Idiot! It's stamped on the rim ET42.5

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!
