Alfa 159 TI - need new 18 wheel

Viesti Kirjoittaja Norjalainen »

Hi! I am an norwegian Alfisti currently on vacation in Finland and one of my original 18" TI-wheel is broken.... Do any of you know if I can find such rim in Finland, or where to start looking? If you look at the car at this link, I have the same car and wheels, but in 18 inch:

Please feel free to answer in Finnish, I will have it translated by my wife.

All help appreciated.... :-D

Check this. Not from Finland, and full 4 piece set. Maybe they will sell one wheel?!

And this is from GB:

Thanks for the tip! Have sent Veloces a mail. Are in Oulu now, but planning to drive towards south on Saturday, so thought there might be some shops south in Finland that could have some of these laying around..... Or could order one for me to pick up in some days.

Have driven into a pothole on our "fabulous" Norwegian roads. Thought some of the counterweights was gone off, but the rim is quite oval. Could order from England and pick it up in Oulu going home, but do not look forward to drive some 1000 km's in a shaky car....

If they are original, you might try calling the official representers. For some reason it seems to be hard to get a list of official spare parts sales locations, but they do have a universal customer service available via phone (00 800 2532 0000). Unfortunately it's not the best shot ever (might be that there's no wheels available and they need to be crafted from lava of Etna and they might cost half a fortune and a leg) but it doesn't cost much to ask.

You could also think of the possibilty of repairing the wheel - there's a bunch of metal work stores in Finland that could be able to do that for you. The wheel might need to get painted oslt to be absolutely fabulous and that would take (probably too much) time, but you can always ask if they can get the shaking off with a shorter notice.

Call this one first - it's at Liminka, which is next to Oulu:

This one would be at Kokkola:

A little further...

Tampere: https://www.fonecta.fi/profiili/Tampere ... +Sunila+Ky
Ylöjärvi (near Tampere): http://www.rengasmestari.fi/

And next to the coastline at south (at least when looking from Oulu):
