Nice - how much is that then in Pounds Shillings and pence?
Much prefer it with the standard wheels myself.[:D]

Nice one! A colleague of mine here (Cambridge, UK) has a white GTI Turbo2 on some even bigger ex-Alfa alloys, and it looks really great too...
Cheers

Hey!! you don't need to be a CX freak to appreciate this one. Top looking motor. But would it look that good in some dirty, damp, windswept back street over here in the UK? Possibly not some little git would key it or dent it. Those alloys look great aswell.

I may sound like a purist, but I do not like the alloys installed at all. They just do not come from the same time/space dimension. But it surely looks great!!!

I agree - it doesn't look right with such modern alloys in my opinion.
Its a nice car though.
What do you pay for a CX or a GSA in Britain?

May this serve to bring the Alfa Wheels / CX synergy to a wider audience!!
My own car wears GTV alloys ( ok so I'm cheap).
let's face it, the GTI Turbo looks soooo sexy on those Alfa wheels

I had Delta mags on my CX that model and had 195 X 75 X 14 tyres on it and used to take the name off the sidewalls going around corners. I also couldn't use spats on it and the spare had to be a different size to go under the bonnet.
Last CX I owned (sold earlier this year) was a c-matic which is the top 3 speeds of a 4 speed box connected to a torque converter and brother, would they ever be a treat to drive on your motorways. We have a top speed limit of 110 KPH (about 65 MPH) at which point these things are just getting ready to boogie. Unfortunately, this car would be a weeks drive away from me; it's allmost closer to you than me and freight costs to get it here would be scarey, but I think someone from the eastern states will do the trip, maybe fly over and drive back, but from all accounts, it's an absolute bottler.
FYI, Aus $ to UK pounds is:-

5,000.00 AUD Australia Dollars = 1,994.98 GBP United Kingdom Pounds
1 AUD = 0.398995 GBP 1 GBP = 2.50630 AUD

Cheap at half the price[;)]
Nice - but still would go for the standard wheels - but beauty as tehy say is in the eye of the beholder... after all I married the Mrs...[:p]

two grand UK and another to ship it. That's a real steal. Had I the money, I'd be getting Dad to go over and pick it up!
BTW Alan, My other head says that I'm not a freak.

Have to disagree.... can't stand those alloys on the alfa but on the the cit, IMO the look cool and futuristic like the the CX did once.[:)]
