Hi Benarvor,

Those are excellent photos of some super nice Montes! Thank you for posting.

Does anyone know what kind, brand and size of wheels are on that yellow Monte? Are these the same wheel as came fitted to some FIAT / Abarth 131's ? Thanks in advance.

Hello Timo04,
yes those wheels were used on the competition FIAT 124 and 131 as well as others. They can still be bought but are very, very expensive. I think that they were made by Cromodora. http://lancisti.net/mkportal/modules/gallery2/index.php?g2_view=core.ShowItem&g2_itemId=28458
Sorry I don't know an actual supplier. I have been searching for the 124 spider specialist in the Netherlands but can't find the web site.

They are Cromodoras - Either A112 13" X 5.5" (aluminum) Or Cromadora-Abarth CD30"s (magnesium) can be found here http://www.fiatplus.com/cd30oe_wh.htm Both are the same pattern as far as I can tell. Repo's were being made probably can still be found with a little searching.

Thanks guys for the info on the wheels. I see these wheels on E-bay from time to time and they can get to be expensive but they look very nice on that Monte. Wonder if they are a bolt on and if the off-set is correct?

Hello Timo04,
I would imagine that those wheels generated a lot of discussion at Le Mans. I suggest that you post up a question about the fitting on the Montecarlo Consortium Forum as it was one of their events.
