Chromadora Wheels
« on: April 04, 2007, 02:03:24 PM »
Has anyone a set of Chromadora or similar 13" alloys for sale or know of anywhere to get them at a reasonable price? There are always a few on Italian ebay. Has anyone bought wheels from there before? Postage?

cromodora made/make a vast range of alloys,some in magnesium,you need to know the off set etc of the rims your after,they always have a CD number cast into them for id,mine for example are CD11's,that equals 13''x5 1.2 j,too big for a 500 i think?  :wink:

Have a look at these, two Cromodora's and four others which might look good on a 500, you might have to flare the arches or at the very least roll the lip up. I'm tempted myself but I've just spent a small fortune getting a custom 4into1 exhaust manifold and system made.

Thanks Nigel,

Those Wheels look fantastic, but the auction is nearly over and I don't want to bit unless I am sure they will fit. Not being a pro with the grinder and even less with the body work, I don't want to risk it.

I will post up some pics of my new caliper/disc set up and see if anyone can make any suggestions. I like the idea of grinding down a bit, but not sure if even that will help with these colossal 1 pot brake calipers!
