Aftermarket wheels

I haven't purchased wheels for the '72 Spyder in 20 years. I'm looking to replace the existing wheels. Most that I find are 4/100mm bolt pattern. The bolt spacing on the Spyder is 4/98mm. Does anyone have information on what wheel companies carry a compatable wheel?

All years of the Spider use 4x98 wheels.All of our vendors sell wheels for Fiat application.Bayless had a sale running recently,but check Vicks,Bruces Parts bin,IAP,etc..There is a current post on some Rota wheels on ebay.All vendors should have 13'',14'',and 15'' sizes.I have 15x7 Team Dynamic wheels w/ 205x55-15 Kumho tires.I like the wide tire look,others don't. Heres a pic
there are wheels w/ tires in ''parts for sale'' section

I have considered having mine redrilled to a 4x100 pattern so I can use normal wheels. The savings on the wheels might make up for the machine work.

This may be a better option. It will get you to the more popular 4x100 w/o machining. https://adaptitusa.com/index.asp?PageAc ... &ProdID=26

I've seen the adapters as well as the "wobble bolts" that allow you to use 4x100 wheels :http://www.serpentautosport.com/HTML/Hu ... acers.html
But I don't think either is a very good solution.

I have had bad experience with adapters,albeit on off-road Jeeps.It might not be as bad on the Fiat,although I would rather not have them on mine.

Ya know Craig, those clouds havent moved in the background in the last year. I think its a painting on a building! Still love the color of the car.

I love that picture of the car,and I pass that overlook all the time.On a whim,I just stopped one day and snapped a pic.I wanted to use it for our Christmas cards....uh,the wife wasnt amused!

Just put on some wobbly bolts and a hub ring and you can use any 15" wheel out there with a correct offset. I use them for years.
