A question for all the wheel whores out there!

[TheRaven]

A friend of mine has just purchased some lovely wheels for her Polo, only thing is, no one knows what they are! I have managed to find out so far that they are made by a company called Lega, and they are roughly from around the 70's. Do any of you guys know what they are, or what cars they came on etc? Any info would be much appreciated!

They're cool looking.. I like em.  What size are they and are they 4x100 fitment?... can't help on what they are though sorry.

I think they're Alfa factory options.

I think they're Alfa factory options.

Think you're on to something, don't/didn't Lega make Alfa's alloys?

[Jack3559]

That's my thinking...

I've seen a set like this on a guila sprint before.

Cheers guys, been to get some nuts for them and the guy there said that they are european, possibly from an Alfa, its got different wheel nuts from that on a Polo! Cant find anymore anywhere! Shes mega in love with them though! Drop on, got 5 with decent tyres for £280!

If it is alfa, you'll need wobble bolts.

Alfas are 4x98.

I have a feeling that these may be Fiat Mirafiori wheels, (rare option) from the late 70s back then, people would have opted for the Campagnolo's instead, because thats what was fitted to Ferrari's! These wheels would have been painted silver or gold.. in their day

Lega, is Italian for "Alloy" look to see if anything else is on the wheels, manufacter was probably on the center cap

Personally, i would have them crack tested before putting such an old wheel on my car
