    Product focus group

    I'd like to hear the honest opinions of the folks here regarding the look of this new wheel that I'll soon have to offer at Classic Ricambi.



    This one is a 5.5 x 14. Not yet sure of the offset but mostly just interested in opinions on the appearance.

    Please let me know what you think.

    Thumbs up Re: Product focus group

    Very nice! The 8-spoke pattern is molto Lancia!

    just OK; certainly not awful, but not very exciting.

    Like it, but sure would rather have a 15"

    Ah right, a 15x5.5" could be worthwhile as a more-than-cosmetic upgrade, allowing tires with a shorter sidewall yet without affecting the wheel centerline.

    I'll take 15 x 7" in the proper offset. Also with a 4 x 108mm bolt pattern for Alfas. Does it have a coated finish?

    Thanks.

    It looks like a wheel for FWD car. Might be fine for, say, a Beta, but I wouldn't think it would agree with a Scorpion's styling nor the RWD layout.

    Thanks for asking!

    Re: Product focus group

    Not quite to my taste. Can't say why for certain. Could be interested in a 15x7 or 6, or 6.5" in a different style. Do you have any other styles?

    Re: Product focus group

    I'd think it would look better on a Zagato, or HPE more than anything.

    I'd not want to use it on my Scorp.

    Since I already have weels on the Zag, I'd likely not be a good customer for that wheel.

    Thanks,
