Wheel alternatives for a Biturbo 430...

[P5Nij]

I'm not having much luck selling my Biturbo 430 so it looks like I'll be keeping it for a while longer - with this in mind and the fact that I've never really liked the 15'' BBS alloys it came with and with the MOT coming up in July it could really do with a new set of tyres, I was wondering what are the choices available to fit the car. I'd love a set of seven spoke Shamal / Ghibli alloys but they don't come cheap new or secondhand, or a set of Mille Miglia alloys sometimes seen on Ghiblis - I have a photo of a 430 wearing a set of these so they should fit, but they're hard to find too.

When I bought the car, amongst the many spares that came with it is are two of the original 5 bolt 'moon disc' alloys which were standard fitment on 430s, I like the look of them but would prefer something a bit different if possible. I don't want to go bigger than 15'', so any ideas gents...?

Good suggestion thanks - the 130 saloon and coupe had five bolt pattern Cromos

You can get aftermarket Cromo look wheels not sure about sizes though, 124s are 4 bolt.

hated the moon discs on mine, got a set of shamals from eurospares which look the nuts in my opinion, were reasonably priced i thought





EDIT: Just checked the invoice and they are in fact the 8 x16 Ghibli 2.8 non abs wheels that I ordered

There is currently a set of shamal/ghibli wheels for sale on maseratitude, and the price is quite reasonable, at 1500€ the full set (with tires).

I was going to ask what the wheel depth was as Eurospares list 7x16 for the fronts and 8x16 for the rears - I take it you have 8x16 front and rear?

They look fabulous on your car by the way!

8 x16 all round, I had to have 5mm spacers made because the fronts would just foul the suspension on full lock

Thanks again - do you know what the PDC is on these wheels?

these were the wheels, 4 x OZ Wheels 8X16 ET32 part no. 317252337

EDIT: Eurospares sent FOMB wheels with the centre caps as they didn't have centre caps for the OZ wheels

Someone on here was selling a set of Ghibli Mille Miglia wheels recently. Was it Ian Roberts, maybe?

i do remember that they supplied the OZ wheels with the FOMB centre caps, however, the caps didn't fit, so they sent FOMB wheels with the the FOMB caps, the FOMB ones were actually cheaper than the OZ wheels, OZ were £199 and FOMB £175, caps were £75

Had a look in the for sale section Ewan but can't see them.
