NY: Vintage BWA (Italian) Mesh Wheels 16x7

[Markos]

Note Mine. I think they look really cool! I think that dave v. in nc might have a set of BWA's if you need some feedback. Not sure if they are the same style.

Those are really neat looking.

Start a wheel collection to go with your steering wheel collection. Tell Cindy they are insulation for the garage!:!:

I have a wheel collection, I'll have to post some pictures. Athena & Vern have 3 sets each

Unlike Andrew, I'm a serial monogamist. Fall in love with a set of wheels. After a couple of years on the car, I fall out of love and begin to lust after a different set. Sell the current paramour to fund the new love. Rinse, repeat.

I bought these BWA's

I love the old school look of these BWA's so I bought them. They're in really good shape. I will paint the centers black like the picture below. I believe that's what they looked liked originally. PO had them painted years ago.

I will have to install longer wheel studs to fit them to my car. The fronts should not be to hard but does anyone know if I can get the rear studs out and the new ones in with removing the hubs? Assume at a minimum the rotors will have to come off.

Thanks,

John M

hmmm ... errr, you aren't thinking about these for the coupe as these are 4 lug wheels and the coupe has 5.

I think that picture was for illustration purposes. The wheels I posted were 5x120.

Yes. The 4 lug wheel picture is for reference on what they would look like with black centers. I found the pic on the net.

The wheels I bought are 5 lug 16".
