So I am thinking of what wheels would look the best on my 73 142 project. I just got some new tires for the virgos on it now but these are only temporary until I can find what I really want. I don't want just any old wheels.
I know some may laugh, but I am considering some different ferrari wheels. The bolt pattern is the same and I know the center bore is likely to be different. I could fix that with centering rings or machining the wheels if neccessary. Also I imagine the offset may not work, but may be corrected with spacers? I think ultimately I would love a set of Lancia Stratos coffin-spoke wheels just barely tucked in the fenders. This seems possible, considering at least the bolt pattern is the same.
My second favorite idea was looking into a set of lightweight revolution wheels. Although I am not sure if they offer a 5x108 pattern.
Or maybe I will just have some 16 inch steelies widened and powdercoated, whadya think? What would your ultimate wheels be?
