Capt Dale tipped me off to these sweet wheels off an Abarth 124 and I swung a deal while visiting my mom. you They aren’t perfect, but shit, who is?

Fompare to what is currently on it:

Project is back in motion.  Sometimes you need a kickstart.  I have $5k saved to commit to it immediately.  Let's see what we can do - I think I can finish the mechanical and suspension, and at least re cover the seats.

Nice pick up, they fit the character of the x1/9 very well. Should clean up well

Would you like to figure out logistics so I can get the wheels and recondition them?

Original mag CD 30s? Very nice find and probably not cheap. You really can’t go wrong with Cromodora on a classic Italian.

Cromodoras - wow!

I was a bit worried when I saw they came from a 124 (I assume a i t w a s Spider o r p e r h a p s a P F Spidereuropa? ). Depending on t h e year, ET for the 124 Spider was between 25 and 36 mm, it seems, and the X1/9, betwen 30 and 40 mm so you’ l l p r o b a b l y be fine.

ET should appear somewhere on the wheel, sometimes in Italian ( c a mpanatura ).

Congratulations, those are very, very nice wheels. Spot-on for a X1/9 in every way.

A n d a tip of the hat for C a p ’ n D a l e. G o o d e y e !
