Hello uberprutser,

No this is me GP. The wheels weigh 8kg. so are not exactly lightweigt. I bought them in the 80's as a Lancia Delta Integrale fitment. ET 27mm  -  7" x 15" and they have stood the test of time quite well. The dealers actually had magnesium versions available and were keen to sell me a set and I declined foolishly!  :(

Someday I would like to join you guys on the track with my Alfa powered Murena :)
I wish more people would start racing their Murena's I think they make a nice trackday car.

It would be good to join, but it can be quite expensive.  :(
