Any experience with NTM wheels?

[Redline]

A longshot, but can anyone offer an opinion on NTM's Cromodora replicas? (Quality, finish etc)

Sorry to interrupt, but I have an opinion about their website. Nice pictures but no real meat for the table.

My first question -- always -- is can my hobby budget stand it?

Feel free to hit me up side the head if I missed a place to click for more info.

It is a poor website, but if you edit the URL to get to the top page, you can find a bit more. Anyway, I can telephone them for pricing info etc. They are about 900 Euro for a set of 4 in the 7x13 size. I am just wondering about actual experiences with the wheels.

Sorry, I don't have any actual experience with these wheels, but a few items caught my eye:

· 6" and wider wheels would require some pretty big tires. Will there be interference problems?
· no ribs for hub cap attachment on these wheels, nor any mention of a center cap

Turns out they no longer offer the 6x13, only the monster 7x13 and 8x13 rims for full-on track / rally specials, so my search is prematurely ended.

I had a weakness for the 6x13 CD39s, however:

Thanks, following that now.

He has re-listed them but insists that they are for Alfa only. Didn't the Giulia and Duetto also have 4x98 bolt circle? Assuming the wheels are 4x98 PCD and ET15, is there any reason why they wouldn't work with the 124?

My quick calculations show that the inner edge is only a mm inboard of the normal 5x13 CD9 alloys (ET and the outer edge is 25 mm (1") outboard. The wheel center is shifted about 1/2" outboard, compared to 1" outboard for the CD30s. Seems to be a reasonable choice for not overstressing the bearings and suspension?
